Dates marked Estimated depend on the moon or an official announcement and can shift by a day or two.

Dates come from the open-source holidays project, which compiles each country's statutory holidays from official sources. Governments sometimes add or move days at short notice, so check official announcements for critical plans. See our sources.

Frequently asked questions

How many public holidays are there in Fiji in 2028?

11 nationwide public holidays: New Year's Day (Jan 1); Good Friday (Apr 14); Easter Saturday (Apr 15); Easter Monday (Apr 17); Girmit Day (May 15); Ratu Sir Lala Sukuna Day (May 26); Prophet Mohammed's Birthday (Aug 3); Fiji Day (Oct 10); Diwali (Oct 17); Christmas Day (Dec 25); Boxing Day (Dec 26).

How many working days are there in 2028?

250 working days, counting Monday to Friday and taking out the nationwide holidays that fall on working days. Regional holidays and company closures can lower it further.

Why are some dates marked "Estimated"?

They follow a lunar calendar or wait for an official announcement — for example Islamic holidays, which depend on sighting the new moon. The date shown is the expected one and can move by a day or two.

What does "Day off in lieu" mean?

When a holiday falls on a weekend, the day off moves to a nearby working day, usually the following Monday. Those substitute days are listed separately.
