Public Holidays by Country and Year

Last reviewed: July 24, 2026

Every public holiday on this site comes from a first-party source: a government gazette, a labour ministry, a central bank, or the country's official holiday authority. This page collects the holiday calendars for all 25 countries, each covering 2024 through 2028, so you can jump straight to the year and place you need. It is a directory, not the record itself. Each holiday page carries the citation and the review date for its data, and the methodology page explains how the sets are built and cross-checked.

The list runs by country and year. Below it, seven countries add a layer of sub-national calendars: US state observances, the United Kingdom's Scotland and Northern Ireland, the German Länder, Spain's comunidades autónomas, the Swiss cantons, Australia's states and territories, and the Canadian provinces. Those regional sets exist because a national calendar alone misses days that genuinely close offices in one jurisdiction and not another.

How the data is sourced and checked: read the methodology.

Holiday calendars by country

Each country covers 2024 to 2028. The country name opens the 2026 calendar; the year chips open the other years.

Sub-national holiday calendars

Seven countries publish state, province, region, or canton calendars on top of the national set. Each link opens that jurisdiction's 2026 holidays.

Frequently Asked Questions

Where does the holiday data come from?
Each country's set traces to a first-party authority: the US federal list under 5 USC 6103, the UK bank holidays under the Banking and Financial Dealings Act 1971, Germany's bundesweite Feiertage, Mexico's Article 74 of the Ley Federal del Trabajo, and so on. Every holiday page names its source and shows a review date recording when the data was last cross-checked. The methodology page lays out the rules for observed dates, weekend shifts, and lunar calendars.
Which years are covered?
Every one of the 25 national calendars covers 2024 through 2028. The sub-national pages cover a narrower range that varies by jurisdiction: US states and UK nations run 2024 to 2028, most others start at 2026, and Spain's comunidades are 2026 only because the annual calendario laboral for later years is not published yet. We list only years an official source confirms rather than assuming a calendar repeats.
How do national and regional calendars differ?
The national set is deliberately conservative: it holds only the days observed across the whole country, so a business-day count is safe anywhere in that nation. A regional page adds the days that a single jurisdiction observes on top of that, such as St Andrew's Day in Scotland, Fronleichnam in Germany's Catholic Länder, or a Swiss canton's patron-saint day. Use the national page for cross-country work and the regional page when a contract is seated in one place.
How current is the data?
Holiday data refreshes on each deploy rather than on a timer, so the pages you see reflect the last content update. Fixed-date and weekday-rule holidays are stable years ahead. Islamic and other lunar-calendar dates for years the official proclamation has not yet set are computed astronomically and marked approximate, then replaced with the gazetted date once it is published.
