The holiday was initially held on George Washington's birthday (February 22), but it was moved in 1971 to accommodate the long holiday weekend.

When do Presidents' Day sales start?

When Presidents' Day sales start depends on the category and retailer that you're interested in. Based on past years, mattress brands are the first to launch early access deals, which usually go live in late January.

Appliances are typically the next Presidents' Day category to go live with deals dropping at the beginning of February.

If you're interested in Presidents' Day sales from big-name retailers like Best Buy, Amazon, Walmart, and Target, you'll have to wait for the week off or the weekend before Presidents' Day to shop for official deals.
