Public Holidays by Month, Worldwide
Pick a year and month to see every public holiday across the 23 countries and regions we track (2025–2028), in one date-ordered table. It is the fastest way to answer "who is off when" — for planning a trip around other countries' peak seasons, scheduling calls with overseas teams, or simply checking what the rest of the world is celebrating.
Multi-day breaks that cross a month boundary — a Lunar New Year block running from late January into February, for example — appear in full on both months’ pages, so nothing gets lost at the turn of the month. Countries that convert weekends into make-up workdays have those listed separately on the relevant month, because they are working days, not holidays.

Frequently asked questions
How many countries does the monthly calendar cover?+
23 countries and regions, for 2025–2028 — every month page aggregates that month's holidays from all of them into one date-ordered table.
Which month has the most public holidays worldwide?+
It changes with the year: in 2025 it is January with 47 holidays; in 2026 it is May with 47 holidays; in 2027 it is May with 47 holidays; in 2028 it is January with 46 holidays. Each month page shows its own total in the table above.
Can one holiday appear on two month pages?+
Yes — when a break spans a month boundary it appears in full on both pages. Example: China's Spring Festival (Chinese New Year) in 2025 runs Jan 28 to Feb 4, so it is listed on both months.
Why does the same festival fall in different months in different countries?+
Lunar and lunisolar festivals — Chinese New Year, Diwali, Eid — move every year, and neighbouring countries can even disagree by a day when a new moon falls between their midnights. Fixed-date holidays like Christmas and National Days stay put. The month pages capture all of it as gazetted.
Can I download a whole month as a calendar file?+
Downloads are organised per country and year rather than per month: every country year page offers free ICS, CSV and PDF files for Google, Apple or Outlook Calendar. Grab the countries you care about and your calendar will show exactly the same dates as these month tables.
