Daylight Saving Time 2025: Will This Be the Last Time Change?

monochrome vintage clock

Daylight Saving Time (DST) is just around the corner, meaning it’s almost time to set the clocks forward and welcome longer evenings. The annual time shift, designed to make better use of natural daylight, will begin in March and last until November.

When Does Daylight Saving Time Start and End in 2025?

In 2025, DST will begin on Sunday, March 9, and end on Sunday, November 2. Clocks will "spring forward" one hour in March, resulting in an hour less of sleep but extended daylight in the evening. In November, they will "fall back" one hour, bringing an extra hour of rest and more morning daylight.

Which States Observe Daylight Saving Time?

Almost all U.S. states follow DST, with the exceptions of Hawaii and most of Arizona, which remain on standard time year-round. U.S. territories, including Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the U.S. Virgin Islands, also do not participate.

Will the U.S. Eliminate Daylight Saving Time?

Efforts to make DST permanent have surfaced multiple times in recent years. A 2022 Senate bill proposing the change stalled in the House. In late 2024, then President-elect Donald Trump voiced support for eliminating DST, citing its inconvenience and economic impact. Despite past proposals, no federal law has been passed to end the practice.

What About Tennessee?

In 2019, Tennessee passed a law to observe DST year-round, but without congressional approval, the law remains unenforceable. In 2023, state legislators proposed exempting Tennessee from DST if neighboring states did the same, but the measure failed in committee.

For now, Tennessee residents should prepare to adjust their clocks once again this March.2/28 - 3/2: The All American Circus Comes to National Guard Armory

2/28 - 3/2: The All American Circus Comes to National Guard Armory

Oscar Garcia and Stardust Circus Entertainment presents our all-new show for 2025. All American Circus is coming to Columbia and featuring all the classics of a real American family circus! Come early and enjoy the kids fun zone before showtime featuring face painting, moon bounces and circus treats!

The Rosales family, Carmen and Jorge and their children present the finest array of acts. Carmen was born and raised in Mexico, like all circus children, Carmen has mastered a sweeping range of circus disciplines. In 1988, upon arrival to the US, she began a daring perch pole act with her husband, Jorge Rosales. Having never worked outside of the circus, her two favorite things about circus living are: being on the road and consistently being with her family. The Rosales Family smoothly display meticulous timing and remarkable coordination in their five-member juggling act, a reminder of what humanity is capable of.

Featuring these acts…

  • Watch our exciting daredevil riders in our steel globe of death. This act is bound to keep you on the edge of your seat! NEW THIS YEAR – 2+ riders in the globe!

  • Daring and graceful aerial artistry showcasing flexibility and strength on the aerial corde lisse.
