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.

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.

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.
