Coverage
National public holidays
Official source
Public holidays in South Africa — 2026Issuing authority: South African Government

The President may declare additional public holidays; published proclamations are added as explicit overrides.

Printable holiday calendar by country

Select a country and year to view national or federal holidays in a printable calendar. The display language is separate from the country you choose.

Country-aware holidays

The calendar uses national or federal holiday rules for the selected country and keeps regional differences separate.

Annual-policy aware

Countries such as China and Japan use published annual schedules instead of guessed future dates.

Print and export

Print the calendar or save it as PDF, Word, Excel or PNG.

Holiday calendar questions

Are these holidays the same in every region?

Not always. Federal states, provinces, states and constituent countries can have additional holidays. This first release focuses on the national or federal layer and clearly notes regional differences.

Why are some future years unavailable?

Some governments publish official holiday or substitute-day schedules annually. When a future schedule is not official yet, X-Calendar does not invent it.

Does changing the country change the site language?

No. Language controls the interface; Country controls which holiday calendar is displayed.
