For most Americans, it's a day where you go "Oh I forgot the post office was closed today". You can also replace post office with bank, tax office, courthouse, or a few other things. In some larger East Coast cities with Italian populations, there might be a parade. However, most people don't celebrate it at all. My school district doesn't even get a day off from school for it.

We celebrate it on the second Tuesday of October, which is the same day that Canadians celebrate Thanksgiving.

In the U.S., Columbus day is "observed" on October 8th (which happens to be "Thanksgiving Day" in Canada), but according to my calendar, October 12th is celebrated in Mexico as "the Day of the Race," whatever that means (feel free to enlighten me). As far as celebration goes, any excuse for a holiday is usually jumped on in the States, but more often than not, the extent of observance for these minor holidays is the closing of government offices and banks, and the flooding of special sales-event fliers from a multitude of stores. So some folks might get a day off from work, while others may find a moderately-discounted this-or-that, but for the most part, Columbus day passes without so much as a second thought. For those with Native American blood, it, like Thanksgiving, can be somewhat of a thorn in our side, even--a reminder of how much our people lost to the greed of imperialistic expansion. But ask any random group of folks on the street, and they're likely to be surprised there's such a thing as Columbus day--assuming they even know who he was.

How do americans celebrate the columbus day?

We celebrate it on the second Monday in October (for the three day weekend), which can be anywhere from the 8th to the 14th. Schools usually take the day off, and it's a federal holiday for government employees, but many organizations, such as colleges and businesses, don't observe it and go about as usual.

My tribal government would not know it as a holiday. i are not getting a paid time off, yet I do provide you the possibility to spend the day in Seattle protesting, using annual bypass away. No, i do no longer rejoice it any further than Jews rejoice Hitler.
