Land O’ Lakes Veterans Day Closings

Veterans Day is just around the corner and that means Land O’ Lakes residents should be prepared for a number of closings around town and throughout Pasco County.

While the holiday falls on Sunday, Nov. 11, it’s officially observed on Monday, Nov. 12. Veterans Day is a federal holiday, which means mail service won’t run and most government offices will be closed.

Here’s a rundown of what's open and what's closed on Veterans Day in Pasco County:

Schools

The Pasco County school district does not observe Veterans Day. That means the kids here do have to hit the books on Monday.

Pasco County Closings

The county does observe Veterans Day as a holiday. That means all administrative offices, the courts, libraries and recreation centers won’t open their doors on Monday.

The Pasco County Public Transportation system is also closed Monday, but will resume normal operation on Tuesday, Nov. 13.

Residents hoping to use a Monday off to haul some trash to the county’s landfills are also out of luck. The Pasco County Resource Recovery Facility and the East Pasco Transfer Station are both closed to the general public on Monday.

What’s Open on Monday?

While a lot of Pasco County workers will get the day off on Monday, that’s not the case across the board. A few agencies will stay open, including emergency services, such as police, fire and ambulance.

Residents hoping to spend Monday at a county park are in luck. All parks and beaches are open on Veterans Day.
