About Brifly

For each country and territory we list national public holidays, bank and optional holidays where they exist, the regions that add their own days off, and the weekday each date falls on. Holiday pages show the dates for four years and the other countries that share the holiday.

Dates are computed with python-holidays, an open-source library of official holiday rules maintained by a large community (MIT licence). Dates of Islamic and other lunar holidays depend on moon sightings and are marked as estimated until announced. Country facts and the background of national days come from Wikidata (CC0).

We checked the Nager.Date public holiday API first; its terms do not allow its data to be used for a holiday website, so Brifly does not use it.

Governments sometimes add one-off holidays or move days at short notice. Before booking travel or planning payroll, confirm with an official source. Spotted an error? Write to us — we pass corrections upstream.
