Belgium has ten statutory public holidays. A weekend or normal non-working-day holiday is replaced at workplace level; no single national substitute date is invented here.
Private-sector workers generally may not be employed on this statutory holiday, except where Belgian law permits Sunday work. The employer owes holiday remuneration and, where applicable, compensatory rest or a substitute day under the federal rules.
The National Bank of Belgium publishes its own closure calendar and lists this observance for 2026. Commercial-bank hours and payment-system availability should be checked separately because the NBB list is not a universal retail-bank schedule.
Belgium’s education calendars are community-specific. Families should consult the calendar for the relevant Flemish, French-speaking or German-speaking system and the individual school.
All Saints’ Day is fixed on 1 November and honours the saints in Christian tradition. Belgium includes Toussaint or Allerheiligen among its statutory public holidays.
The fixed feast remains one of the ten statutory holidays even when 1 November falls on a Sunday, triggering workplace substitute-day rules.
Religious services and private remembrance give the date its character. The employment statute establishes the day off and substitute rules, not a prescribed ceremony.
For 1 November travel, consult the relevant operator and locality. Federal employment guidance does not establish transport or attraction opening hours.
