We currently provide accurate holiday data for the following countries and their states or regions:
The site uses a curated database of public holiday dates for 2025 and 2026, covering national holidays as well as state and territory-level observances. When you load the page, your location is estimated from your browser's timezone so your region is pre-selected automatically.
All logic runs entirely in your browser — no data is sent to a server when checking holidays.
Holiday dates are researched from official government sources for each country and updated at the start of each calendar year. Variable holidays (such as Easter, and state-based King's/Queen's Birthday observances) are calculated individually for each year listed.
While we aim for full accuracy, public holiday dates can occasionally be amended at short notice by governments. Always verify with your employer or local authority for time-sensitive decisions.
isitapublicholidays.com was created by an independent developer to solve a simple problem: quickly answering whether today is a public holiday without navigating through complex government websites or outdated calendars.
The tool is completely free and supported by non-intrusive advertising through Google AdSense. No personal data is collected, tracked, or sold. Your location choices are saved only in your browser for convenience.
Employees, freelancers, and business owners often need to know instantly whether they're working through a public holiday. Some countries display holidays clearly online; others don't. This tool levels the playing field by providing instant answers for major countries worldwide, curated from official government sources.
We update the database at the beginning of each year and maintain accuracy for both fixed and variable holidays (like Easter, Thanksgiving, and regional observances).
