Assumption: Saturday and Sunday are non-working days, plus the listed public holidays. This is your planning assumption, not a universal legal workweek. Employer schedules may differ. Only supported holiday dates are included. Each jurisdiction is calculated independently. Local, sector-only and part-day entries are excluded. Use the country or region selector above to focus the results.
Recorded confirmation and independent source review are shown separately. An institution-specific notice does not establish closure for every employer or school.

Canterbury holiday calendar for 2028. These are historical anniversary areas, not present-day council boundaries. Confirm your local anniversary with the council or employment agreement. The 2028 anniversary date remains unverified and is omitted; this calendar currently contains national dates only.
Actual and Mondayised holiday dates are alternatives. An employee receives one entitlement according to the otherwise-working-day rule.
Check the applicable employment pattern before arranging leave. Conditional entries do not promise universal closure.
Use the national school holiday countdown for verified state-school break intervals. Opening and closing dates can differ by school.
No. The otherwise-working-day rule determines which date applies.
No. Anniversary provinces and local employment custom can differ from administrative boundaries.
Use Find a holiday to filter the displayed calendar by name. Select a country or region first to search its complete calendar, including local and part-day entries.
Choose the assumed weekend and press Calculate. Each result uses full-day public holidays from one jurisdiction only. Local holidays, sector-only dates and part-day holidays are excluded; employer schedules may differ.
The recorded date role distinguishes additional holidays, substitute days and observances. Follow the official source and coverage note for the selected jurisdiction.
No. School terms, breaks and student-free days have separate country or region calendars. Some divisions use different dates, and individual schools can have additional arrangements.
The PDF uses the selected calendar and weekend assumption, with long-weekend planning, notes and official sources. A national overview keeps occasions separate from region-specific closures. The calendar download for a selected jurisdiction retains coverage and part-day hours.
Read the date status and coverage note, then check employer, bank, school and transport arrangements. Dates awaiting an official announcement are explicitly identified; a missing date does not mean a normal working day.
