How this list is built
- This is the national public-holiday list for each year; it does not include state, province, or other subdivision holidays.
- Each holiday is verified against an authoritative source before a country is vouched. The calendar dataset behind the dates is credited on the About page.
- Each entry is tagged by type: public and bank holidays alongside observances and optional or school days, which aren't statutory public holidays.
