Next Public Holiday

Why the jurisdiction is specific

Public holidays are not one universal country-wide list. Australian dates vary by state and territory, the UK has separate bank-holiday schedules, New Zealand also has regional anniversary days, US state holidays can differ from the federal schedule, and Canadian provinces and territories have additional dates. This page therefore labels exactly which schedule it is using instead of pretending one list covers everyone.

Data currently loaded

Queensland uses Fair Work Ombudsman 2026 and 2027 public-holiday dates, including Queensland-wide dates and the Brisbane-area Ekka holiday where identified. New Zealand uses the national observed dates published by Employment New Zealand for 2026 and 2027. England and Wales uses GOV.UK bank-holiday schedules for 2026 and 2027. The United States uses US Office of Personnel Management federal holiday schedules for 2026 and 2027. Canada uses the Canada Revenue Agency's published 2026 recognised public-holiday dates; provincial and territorial holidays can differ.

How to use this page

What the countdown means

The day count is the number of calendar days from today to the listed holiday date. A substitute or observed date is used where that is what the official source publishes. Partial-day holidays, local show days and other regional exceptions may need additional checking.
