Frequently asked questions
How do I know if today is a public holiday?
Choose your country in the checker at the top of this page. It compares today's date with that country's official public holiday list and shows the next upcoming holiday.
What is the difference between a public holiday and a bank holiday?
A public holiday is a day set by law or government notice when most offices and schools close. A bank holiday is the term used in some countries, such as the UK, for days when banks and many businesses close. In practice the two often overlap.
Why do Eid and other lunar holidays change every year?
Islamic holidays follow the lunar Hijri calendar, which is about 11 days shorter than the solar year, so they move earlier each year. Final dates usually depend on official moon-sighting announcements.
What happens when a holiday falls on a weekend?
Many countries move the day off to the nearest weekday, often the following Monday, but the rule differs by country and sometimes by region. Each country calendar notes how substitute days work.
Are the dates on Holiday Status official?
Our calendars are compiled from official government sources, but announcements can change. Always confirm important plans with your government, employer or bank.
