This country does not move holidays that fall on a weekend — they are simply lost that year.

Other countries

National holidays only. Days observed in a single state or region are not included.

Dates are computed from the rules — Easter by computus, the Japanese equinoxes from solar longitude.

Frequently asked questions

QHow accurate are these dates?

Countries whose holidays follow a fixed formula (a set date, an Easter offset, an nth weekday) are computed exactly for any year. Countries where the government only announces substitute days shortly before the year starts (China, Taiwan, India, and others) use that official announcement, and years not yet announced show only the dates that can be computed.

QAre state or regional holidays included?

No — only nationwide public holidays are listed. Holidays observed in a single U.S. state, German Land, or Spanish autonomous community are not included.
