Sources and limits

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 15 October 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 Helsinki.

! Checked against Vuosilomalaki 162/2005, section 4(3): non-working days (Sundays, church holidays, Independence Day, Christmas Eve, Midsummer Eve, Easter Saturday, May Day), Finlex open data on 16 October 2026, with caveats: The fixed and Easter-based holidays, Midsummer and All Saints dates are consistent with the Finnish church-holiday system and the Annual Holidays Act, but the statute that lists the church holidays was not opened, so no date-by-date comparison was possible.
