What public holidays does a country have?
Pick a country and a year, get the full list of public holidays with date, local name, weekday and type (public, bank, optional).
We cover 100+ countries - from Poland and Germany, through the US and Brazil, to Japan and South Africa. Data comes from the open Nager.Date registry, a community-maintained holiday dataset.
Three views: full year (every holiday), today (is today a holiday?), next 30 days (what is coming up). Useful for travel planning, cross-border shipping, scheduling calls with an international team, or simple curiosity.
How to use it
- Pick a country. We show the 10 most popular ones first (US, UK, Germany, France, Poland...). For the remaining 90+ open the dropdown.
- Pick a year. Defaults to the current one. You can go back to 1975 or forward to 2099, but accuracy drops for very old or very future years.
- Pick a view: full year, today, or next 30 days.
- The table shows: date, local name (English in brackets), weekday and type (Public / Bank / Optional). Today's row is highlighted.
- Regional holidays are tagged with the sub-divisions they apply to (US states, German Länder). Moveable feasts (Easter) are flagged separately from fixed dates.
When this is useful
Where checking world holidays helps:
- Travel planning - "I am flying to Germany in June, any holidays?". Full list with type (public vs only bank).
- International team - "when is Thanksgiving in the US in 2026?". Pick the date, schedule the call on a working week.
- E-commerce and shipping - "I ship parcels to the UK, when are bank holidays?". Bank holidays delay delivery, worth knowing in advance.
- Studying or working abroad - moving to Spain, Italy or Japan it is useful to know the days off, including the surprising regional ones.
- Cultural curiosity - "how many holidays does India have? Iran?". You can compare countries and see that some have 25+, others only 8.
- Marketing campaign prep - knowing when the target country celebrates helps schedule promotions, email sends and ads.
If you want to count working days between two dates with holidays subtracted, use the working days calculator. It supports US, EU and Polish holiday sets with a richer calendar visualization.
