Public holidays

The public holidays of a year, for a country or a region: the day of the week, substitute days, bridges, and the next one.

Good to know

A holiday on a weekend: Where the law fixes a replacement day (United Kingdom, United States, Canada Day, several Canadian provinces), the list shows that day, marked “substitute day”. Elsewhere, a holiday falling on a Saturday or a Sunday is simply lost, or replaced by a day chosen in the company: it is shown in grey.
Bridges: A holiday on a Tuesday or a Thursday makes a “bridge” possible: taking the Monday or the Friday off gives four days in a row.
Counting business days: The same lists are used by dates/add and dates/diff to count business days, and by dates/calendar to mark the holidays on a calendar.

Transparency

Everything is computed in your browser, by the scripts listed below. Nothing you choose leaves this page.

Enforced by your browser

This page's Content Security Policy allows a single destination, the site's audience measurement (connect-src https://stats.r-no.fr, see below), and forbids any form submission (form-action 'none'), so even a bug could not send what you type anywhere. You can read the policy at the top of the page source.

Audience measurement

Like every page of the site, this one counts its visit with Umami, installed on R-no’s own server (stats.r-no.fr). It receives the address of the page, without parameters or anchor, the site you came from (its domain only), your browser, system, language and screen size, and the country, region and city deduced from your IP address, which is not kept. It never receives what you type, nor the result of the tool. No cookie, nothing stored in your browser; if your browser asks not to be tracked (Do Not Track), nothing is measured. The data is erased after 25 months.

/commun/mesure.js: the filter applied before each sending, written for R-no Toolbox. 1.4 kB

https://stats.r-no.fr/m.js: Umami’s tracker, open source (MIT), served by the measurement server. Its fingerprint is not shown here: it changes with each version of Umami, and you cannot check from your browser that it is the published code. For that part, you have to trust R-no.

What is stored

No cookie, and nothing in the address. What you type is never stored: it disappears when you reload or close the page. Your language is given by the address itself (/en/ or /fr/): nothing is stored to remember it. Like any website, the server records the download of the page and its files in its access logs (IP address, date and time, address requested, browser name). It never receives what you type.

Public holidays

Legal public holidays of France (Labour Code, article L3133-1, with Alsace-Moselle and the overseas departments), Belgium, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom (England and Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland, with the one-off days proclaimed since 1995), the United States (federal holidays) and Canada (federal Labour Code and each province’s employment standards law). They are computed in the page for any year: fixed dates, “third Monday of January”, and days that follow Easter (Meeus, Jones and Butcher’s algorithm). The rules were checked in September 2026 against the laws and official sites; days created since 2000 only count from their first year (Juneteenth 2021, 4 October in Italy 2026…). A holiday falling on a weekend is only moved where the law fixes the replacement day (United Kingdom, United States, Canada Day, Quebec’s Fête nationale, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland, Saskatchewan): it is then marked “substitute day”. Elsewhere, the law gives a day off chosen in the company, or pay, which cannot be known here. Nothing is downloaded: the rules are written in app.js.

How it was checked

The 2026 list of every country and region is compared with the official sites (gov.uk, opm.gov, governments of Canada and its provinces…), as are the substitute days and the one-off days of the United Kingdom. The lists from 2000 to 2030 were also compared with the Python library holidays: the only differences left are the choices described in the limits below. Easter is compared with a second, independent algorithm for every year from 1583 to 9999. The tests run again before each release.

Limits

Gregorian calendar, from year 1 to 9999. Public holidays: only the legal ones. Days off by custom or collective agreement are not counted: Good Friday and mid-Lent in the French West Indies, 21 July in Guadeloupe and Martinique, patron saints in Italy, the extra days in Newfoundland’s public service… In the Netherlands, 5 May is a holiday every year under the law, but a day off only if the collective agreement says so. Quebec: Good Friday is counted; the law lets the employer choose Easter Monday instead. From 2005 to 2007, Whit Monday was worked in France as the solidarity day, and is not counted. Before 2000, the history of the laws is not followed. Regional holidays of Germany, Switzerland and Spain are not included. The next holiday is computed from your device’s date.
