Bayern Public Holidays 2028

Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 25, 2026

Bayern observes 12 Feiertage in 2028: 11 fall on a weekday and 1 land on a weekend, leaving 249 working days across the year. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend, the same as the rest of Germany; what changes is the Bundesland's set of Feiertage.

How Bayern differs from the nationwide German holidays

Bavaria observes Heilige Drei Könige on 6 January, Fronleichnam on the Thursday 60 days after Easter, and Allerheiligen on 1 November as statewide gesetzliche Feiertage under the bayerisches Feiertagsgesetz. Mariä Himmelfahrt on 15 August is a special case: it is a public holiday only in the roughly 1,700 of Bavaria's 2,056 municipalities that are predominantly Catholic, so it is not statewide and is left out of this statewide count; whether it applies depends on the town. Augsburger Friedensfest on 8 August is observed only in the city of Augsburg. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend.
