A faster route to the date
Use the calendar in three steps.
01
Choose your country
Start with the jurisdiction that matters for your trip, team or deadline.
02
Check the year
Use the year-specific page so dates and weekdays are easy to scan.
03
Confirm local rules
Review regional notes and confirm critical closures with the relevant authority.
Are public holidays and bank holidays the same?
Sometimes, but the terms depend on the country. A bank holiday may close banks and public offices while employment rules can vary.
What does “observed” mean?
When a holiday falls on a weekend, a law or local rule may move the day off to a nearby weekday. That replacement date is the observed day.
Can dates differ inside one country?
Yes. States, provinces, territories and cities can have additional holidays or different observance rules.
Should I use the calendar for payroll or travel bookings?
Use it as a planning reference, then confirm high-impact dates with the relevant government, employer, school or transport provider.
Methodology
Dates first. Context where it matters.
Our publishing workflow prioritises clear country and year labels, visible observance context and source review for important planning decisions.
- Country and year stated in every calendar title
- Observed dates separated from holiday names
- Regional variation called out where relevant
- Critical dates should be checked with authorities
