Why is George Washington's official birthday celebration held on February 22 when he was actually born on February 11? we lost 11 days when we changed from the Julian to the gregorian calenders during his life time. so Washington celebrated his birthday 11 days later to make it a year after hi â¦ s last birthday.
Contrary to popular belief, the observed federal holiday is actually called âWashingtonâs Birthday.â Neither Congress nor the President has ever stipulated that the name of the holiday observed as Washingtonâs Birthday be changed to Presidentsâ Day. Additionally, Congress has never declared a national holiday binding in all states and each state decides its own legal holidays. This is why there are some calendar discrepancies.
