Travel and staffing

Pair the holiday calendar with the country time and airport-country pages before scheduling travel, support shifts, launches, or regional handoffs.

Cross-country comparison

Use the peer table to check whether a holiday-heavy week is specific to this country or part of a broader regional closure pattern.

Trust boundaries

Not legal advice: The page is a reference calendar. Regional, sector, employer, school, bank, and substitute-day rules may differ from the national rows shown here.
Heuristic classification: Religious/civic/cultural labels are generated from transparent keyword matching and should be treated as reading aids, not official taxonomy.

Public-holiday practice can vary by region, sector, and employer. Use official government or workplace calendars for legal closure decisions.

Holiday calendar method

How we calculate this: We load the current and next-year holiday rows for DO, intersect them with the next 365 days, classify each public-holiday row with a transparent keyword heuristic (religious / civic / cultural / other), and derive the weekday distribution, longest holiday-free stretch, and longest consecutive-holiday cluster (counting weekends adjacent to public-holiday dates).
Data sources: Holiday rows from the curated holiday catalog (src/data/holidays.json); country roster, ISO DO, and timezones from src/data/countries.json; DST observance from the IANA tzdata mirror in src/data/zones.json. Peer-country selection uses same-continent overlap on the holiday-slug set.
Update cadence: Page revalidates daily (revalidate = 86400) so the year-pattern card, next-holiday signal, and peer-comparison counts stay current.
