How to use this page
This index comes from our curated 2026 calendar. Read original dates, substitutes and scope alongside the linked sources and local notices. Some entries apply only to named regions, the public sector or specific employment arrangements. These entries are not everyone’s actual days off.
Our calendar also covers 2025–2027. Cultural background, product ideas and campaign examples will be expanded over time. Actual platform campaigns follow merchant notices.
