Public holidays by country and year
These guides provide yearly public holiday references by country. Each page is generated from HolidayDB datasets for a specific country/year calendar, making it easy to plan and report across multiple regions.
Teams use these pages for payroll planning, staffing, HR operations, delivery scheduling, and day-to-day operational planning — especially for international teams.
Why public holidays vary by country
Countries have different national holidays, and dates can change year to year. Observance rules also differ, and some places have additional regional or subdivision holidays.
Common sources of differences include:
- religious holidays
- regional observances
- substitute / “mondayized” holidays
- different workweek conventions (e.g. Sunday–Thursday vs. Monday–Friday)
These variations impact staffing, payroll calendars, SLAs, delivery estimates, and overall operational capacity.
How public holiday guides work
Each country/year page is a reference view generated from HolidayDB’s public holiday dataset for that specific calendar year.
National holidays are shown by default. If you need region/subdivision rules or custom scenarios, use the calculators or the API docs.
Built for both browser use and APIs
Use the browser guides for quick lookup, and use the HolidayDB APIs for automation and integrations. The same underlying data powers both guides and calculators.
See the API docs, or explore calculators for interactive queries. Related hubs: working days and working hours.
