About these dates

A public holiday does not always close every business. Essential services, shops and some industries keep working, and pay rules differ by country and contract.

Dates come from the open-source python-holidays project (0.106, MIT licence), which follows each country’s laws and official calendars; NonWorkingDays built these tables from it on October 15, 2026. Names are shown as the source gives them, in the local language and in English, without machine translation.

Dates marked “estimated” follow lunar or religious calendars and can move by a day when they are announced. Days off decreed at short notice, such as bridge days, may be missing. Check with an official source before you book.

Long weekends count the weekend (Saturday and Sunday) and nationwide public holidays only. “When” counts days by the local date in Sofia.

! Checked against Kodeks na truda (Labour Code) art. 154, official holidays and weekend compensation rule (Lex.bg), BTA: Council of Ministers declares 2 January 2026 a day off (euro changeover) on October 16, 2026, with caveats: All official holidays and the compensation days for 2026 and 2027 follow Labour Code art. 154, and the 2 January 2026 day off is a government decision for the euro changeover; no 2027 government bridging decision exists yet.
