Long weekends and bridge days

Each country’s page lists the long weekends of the year: three days off or more in a row, a public holiday among them. Under them are the bridge days: one workday between a holiday and a weekend, where one day of leave gives you four days off or more. A holiday on a Tuesday or a Thursday makes one.

Regional holidays

Germany, Switzerland, Spain, the United States, Canada, Australia and others keep holidays only in some of their states, cantons or regions. Each country’s page has a table of them with where they apply, and countries whose states are searched for have a page for each state.

Where the lists come from

The dates are worked out from the rules of date-holidays, an open-source holiday database built from Wikipedia’s articles. The lists on these pages are shared under the same license, CC BY-SA 3.0. A holiday announced for one year only may be missing: check your government’s or employer’s list before you book.

Questions and answers

Where do the dates come from?

From date-holidays, an open-source database of the holiday rules of each country and many of its states, built from Wikipedia’s articles. Each year’s dates are worked out from those rules, so Easter, a holiday moved off a weekend and a day of the lunar calendar land where the calendar puts them. Islamic holidays are marked expected, as the moon’s sighting can move them by a day.

Why isn’t my country listed?

We list a country when its rules give the same days as its official list. Where the government sets some days by decree each year, as in Indonesia, Thailand or Vietnam, or where a holiday’s length differs from the official one, the country waits until its list can be checked.

Can I get reminded before a holiday?

Each country’s page saves a year’s holidays as an .ics file that Google Calendar, Outlook and Apple Calendar import, with a reminder on each day.
