Washington's Birthday The Uniform Holidays Act 1968 shifted the date of the commemoration of Washington's Birthday from 22 February to the 3rd Monday in February (between February 15 and 21, so that it never falls on Washington's actual birthday). Many people refer to this as "Presidents' Day" to honour all US presidents.
What annual event, held on a Monday for children and their parents, that was started in 1814 by First Lady Dolley Madison in the grounds of the Capitol, Washington DC, USA, is now held on the White House lawn?
