Columbus Day 2018: What's Open, Closed In Palatine

PALATINE, 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 village. Here's a look at what will be opened and closed for the holiday:

Schools: No classes for District 15, District 25, District 59 and District 211 schools. District 214 schools will have classes.

Palatine Village Government: Village offices will be closed. County, state and federal government offices will be closed, too.

Palatine 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.

CTA and Metra: Trains and buses for the transportation agencies will be running on normal schedules.

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