Public holiday information

The official Dutch holiday list includes Good Friday, both Easter days, Liberation Day on 5 May, Ascension, both Pentecost days and both Christmas days. Being on this list does not itself give an employee a legal right to leave. Collective agreements and employment contracts determine time off, including Liberation Day arrangements. The government publishes dated 2026 and 2027 lists; 2028 entries are recurring-calendar projections.

Offices

Official Dutch public holiday; this does not itself establish a legal right to a day off. Check the collective agreement or employment contract.

Banks

Use the bank or payment-system operating notice for branch hours and settlement cut-offs. The public-holiday list does not certify each institution's closure.

Schools

Public holidays are separate from school terms and vacations. No new school-break calendar is certified in this review; use the responsible education authority or school schedule.

Practical planning

Use the calendar and dated regional exceptions before booking. Long-weekend results use stored applicable occurrences; provisional dates and local exceptions require the stated qualification.
