Public Holidays Guide

Knowing the public holidays for a country is essential for scheduling international meetings, planning travel, or managing global teams. This tool covers official government-recognized holidays for countries worldwide. Keep in mind that some countries have regional holidays that may not appear in national lists. When planning across time zones, also account for the fact that holidays start and end at different times in different regions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are regional or state-level holidays included?→

The tool focuses on national public holidays recognized by the central government. Some countries have additional regional holidays (for example, US states or German Bundeslaender) that may not be listed. Check local government sources for regional specifics.

How far ahead can I check holidays?→

You can check holidays for the current year and several years into the future. However, some countries announce holiday dates (especially those based on lunar calendars) only a year or two in advance, so very far-future dates may not be available.

Are bank holidays the same as public holidays?→

In most countries, bank holidays and public holidays overlap significantly. However, some countries have specific bank holidays (when financial institutions close) that are not general public holidays. This tool lists public holidays, which are the most widely observed.

Why do some holidays change dates every year?→

Holidays based on lunar or religious calendars (such as Easter, Eid, or Chinese New Year) shift dates annually because those calendars do not align with the standard Gregorian calendar. The tool calculates the correct dates for each year.
