Offices

North Macedonia's national calendar covers holidays for all citizens. The annual programme separately lists religious and community-specific days, which are not nationwide closures. Sunday national holidays have a following-day observance. The 2026 programme's August entry has a month typo; the Film Agency independently confirms 3 August as non-working.

Banks

Check the bank's opening and payment-system calendar; public holidays alone do not specify settlement cut-offs.

Schools

This is a public-holiday calendar, not a school-term calendar. School breaks and local closures require the education authority's schedule.

Practical planning

Use the dated calendar and long-weekend planner to identify busy periods, then check local transport and visitor opening hours.
