About
The Holiday Checker queries HolidayFYI's database of public holidays, observances, religious celebrations, and cultural events across more than 200 countries and territories. Simply pick a date to see every holiday observed worldwide on that day, or narrow your search to a specific country.
Many holidays do not fall on a fixed date. Easter shifts based on the first full moon after the vernal equinox. Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha follow the Islamic lunar calendar. Chinese New Year, Diwali, and Vesak are tied to their respective lunisolar calendars. The Holiday Checker accounts for all these variable dates, computed year by year.
Results are tagged by type: Public Holiday, Bank Holiday, Observance, Religious Holiday, Cultural Celebration, National Day, UN International Day, or Seasonal Celebration. This helps you quickly see whether offices and banks will be closed or if it is an informal celebration.
