Look up the public holidays for any of 28 popular countries and any year, with dates computed instantly in your browser — fixed, weekday-based and Easter-derived holidays, grouped by month.

Dates are computed from public-holiday rules (fixed dates, weekday rules and the Easter Computus) and may not include every regional, religious or last-minute substitute holiday. For informational use only — always confirm with an official source.

About Public Holidays by Country

This tool lists the public holidays of dozens of popular countries — including the United States, United Kingdom, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, Spain, Italy, India, Japan, China, Brazil and Mexico — for any year you choose, roughly a decade back or ahead of the current one.

Dates are computed live in your browser rather than fetched from an API. Fixed dates, weekday-based rules like “fourth Thursday of November” and Easter-derived holidays such as Good Friday and Whit Monday are all calculated on the fly, including the Computus algorithm for finding Easter Sunday in any year.

Where a country moves holidays that fall on a weekend, the tool applies the local observance rule and marks the shifted date with an “observed” badge. Results are grouped by month, filterable by name, and each holiday can be copied with a click — useful for planning projects, travel and payroll calendars.

How to use Public Holidays by Country

  1. Pick a country from the dropdown — each entry shows its flag for quick scanning.
  2. Set the year with the stepper buttons or type it directly; you can go about ten years back or ahead.
  3. Browse the holidays grouped by month, with weekday and date shown for each entry.
  4. Watch for the “observed” badge, which marks holidays shifted because they land on a weekend.
  5. Use the search box to filter by holiday name, and click any entry to copy its name and date.

Frequently asked questions

The tool computes Easter Sunday with the standard Gregorian Computus algorithm, then derives related holidays by offset — Good Friday two days before, Easter Monday one day after, Ascension 39 days after, and so on. Weekday-based rules like Thanksgiving are computed as the nth weekday of a month.

Some countries move a holiday that falls on a weekend: in the UK a Saturday or Sunday bank holiday shifts to the following Monday, while in the US a Saturday holiday is observed on Friday and a Sunday one on Monday. The badge shows the shifted date.

Any year within roughly ten years of the current one, in either direction. Because dates are computed by rule rather than stored, past and future years are generated instantly when you change the year selector.

The lists focus on nationwide public holidays. State, provincial and purely regional observances vary too much to cover here, so always confirm against an official source before making binding plans — the page carries the same disclaimer.

Yes, free and unlimited for every country and year, with no account. All dates are calculated in your browser — no server or third-party holiday API is called.
