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 Riga.

! Checked against Likums 'Par svetku, atceres un atzimejamam dienam' (holidays list incl. Mother's Day, Whitsun, 31 Dec), Ministru kabineta rikojums Nr. 330 'Par darba dienu parcelsanu 2026. gada', Latvijas Vestnesis 13.06.2025 on 16 October 2026, with caveats: The holiday list in the Latvian holidays law matches the data; the 2 January and 22 June 2026 swaps are real (Cabinet Order 330) but binding only for state-funded bodies, and no 2027 swap order has been adopted yet.
