A holiday calendar becomes more useful when it explains the practical consequence behind a date. A country may publish a national public holiday while a stock exchange follows its own trading calendar. A bank may close its branches while digital payments continue. An employer may also use a separate leave policy.
That is why HolidayExplore is organized around the question behind the search. When you need a simple date, start with the country calendar. When you need to know whether work, banking or markets are affected, use the relevant planning or closure resource too.

Read the guide →Public holiday and workplace calendar data can become misleading when every closure is called a public holiday or when a single calendar is treated as universal. Our approach is to keep the country scope clear, distinguish holiday types where the underlying information supports it, and make the reasoning and source methodology easy to inspect.
