Columbus Day 2018: What's Open And Closed In Oak Forest

OAK FOREST, IL — Observed on the second Monday of October, Columbus Day is a federal holiday that can be a bit confusing when it comes to knowing what's open and what's closed. Adding to the confusion is that many people still have to work that day, and it can leave them wondering if other places around the city are in the same situation.

With that in mind, Patch has put together a list on how Columbus Day will affect some of the prominent institutions and services in the city. Here's a look at what will be opened and closed for the holiday:

Schools: No classes for Forest Ridge Elementary School District 142, Arbor Park School District 145, Community Consolidated School District 146, Bremen High School District 228 and Consolidated School District 230.

City Government: City Hall and city offices will be closed. County, state and federal government offices also will be closed.

Acorn Public Library: The library will be open.

Postal Service: No mail delivery, and all post offices will be closed.

Banks: Most financial institutions will be closed. Call ahead to be sure.

Retailers, Restaurants, Bars and Other Businesses: Most will be open, but check hours ahead of time.
