Public Holidays by Country and Year
Last reviewed: October 14, 2026
This page collects the holiday calendars for all 25 countries on this site, each covering 2024 through 2028, so you can go straight to the year and place you need. It is a directory, not the record itself: each holiday page names the official source of its dates and the date they were last cross-checked, and the methodology page explains how the sets are built.
The list runs by country and year. Below it, 7 countries also have state, province, region or canton pages, because a national calendar leaves out days that only one jurisdiction observes.
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 links open each year.
Sub-national holiday calendars
For these 7 countries the site also counts the states, provinces, regions or cantons listed here, each on its own list: the national set with that jurisdiction's own days added or removed. Each link opens that jurisdiction's 2026 holidays.
