Why is a day marked red on one country page but not another?

Red means a nationwide day off. A holiday observed only in some states or provinces is shown as a regional holiday and turns red once you select that region.

Why are some holidays blue instead of red?

Blue marks a day off limited to a particular group, sector, industry, or smaller locality — bank holidays, public-sector-only days, local holidays, or optional holidays employees choose from a list. Most people still work.

What do the striped days mean?

They are weekend days that are worked, used in some countries to bridge a short public holiday into a longer break. They are working days, not days off.

Why do some 2027 dates say the date is to be confirmed?

Islamic holidays follow the lunar Hijri calendar and their Gregorian dates depend on a moon sighting announced shortly before. Further into the future, more dates are provisional.

Where does this data come from?

Official government publications where available — GOV.UK for the United Kingdom and the Macao SAR Government for Macau, among others — merged with Google's official holiday calendars and timeanddate.com, then cross-checked between them. Dates that the two sources disagree on are not published.

About World Calendar

World Calendar publishes the public holiday calendar of 53 countries and territories for 2025, 2026, and 2027, and is adding more. Every date is traced back to an official government announcement where one exists, and cross-checked against a second source.

Holidays are sorted into five kinds so a calendar never claims more than it knows: nationwide days off, regional days off, days off limited to certain groups or sectors, observances that are marked but worked, and weekend days worked to bridge a holiday.
