Useful answers before commentary
Our pages are designed to answer the date, scope and likely closure question first. Background, planning advice and frequently asked questions follow the core calendar information.
Clear distinctions
We distinguish public holidays from International Days, cultural observances and institution-specific closures. We also separate the legal anniversary from an observed weekday when those dates differ.
Independence and advertising
Advertising helps fund the service but does not determine calendar entries or editorial conclusions. Advertisements are labeled and placed after useful information.
