Columbus Day/Indigenous People Day Holiday Hours

Columbus Day/Indigenous People Day is Monday, October 12, 2026.

Columbus Day is a federal holiday, but not an official state holiday in South Carolina. This day commemorates the 1492 landing of explorer Christopher Columbus in the Americas, as well as celebrates and honors Indigenous American peoples and their histories and cultures.

The federal holiday means that non-essential federal government offices are closed, and every federal government employee receives paid time off for the holiday. The US Post Office locations will be closed with no delivery service on this federal holiday.

Since the State of South Carolina does not recognize either Columbus Day or Indigenous People Day as a state holiday, some businesses that are normally closed on a federal holiday may or may not be open. You should check with your local bank, credit union, school, etc. Some could be closed on Monday, October 12, 2026, and others will not. 

The local holiday hours are as follows:

  • SIPOA offices will be open on Monday, October 12 with normal hours.
  • Town of Seabrook Island offices will be open on Monday, October 12 with normal hours.
  • Vincent’s Pharmacy will be open on Monday, October 12 with normal hours.
  • Post and Computer Center will be open on Monday, October 12 with normal hours.
  • Harris Teeter will be open on Monday, October 12 with normal hours.

Reminder: Shredding Event Wednesday, October 7

Free Fall Shredding Event

Town of Seabrook Island
Wednesday, October 7, 2026
10:00 am – 1:00 pm

Now is the time to organize your files and discard old, unneeded, or duplicate documents. Gone are the days when we have to keep backup pieces of paper. Most information is now available online and is easy to access.

This is also a good time to go paperless. Many companies, such as banks, credit card companies, and insurance companies, offer this service. Not only is it safer, but it can also be helpful when you are away from home. A bonus is using less paper, which is good for the environment!

Since most of your documents probably have personal information, you don’t want to just throw them away. The best way to dispose of these documents is by shredding them.
