About CalendarGlobe

Your reliable source for holiday dates in Europe and North America

What is CalendarGlobe?

CalendarGlobe is an independent reference website providing accurate, up-to-date public holiday and school holiday information for ten countries across Europe and North America: Germany, Austria, Switzerland, England, France, Spain, Italy, the Netherlands, the United States, and Canada.

📋What we cover

Public holidays: Nationwide holidays applying to all residents of a country, plus regional and state-level holidays where applicable. We include the official name, date, day of the week, and whether the holiday is nationwide or region-specific.

School holidays: Term-time and school holiday dates by region, covering summer holidays, Christmas breaks, Easter breaks, autumn half-terms, and other breaks relevant to each country's school calendar system.

Years covered: We provide data from 2024 through to 2031. For some countries, school holiday dates for future years may not yet be published by the relevant education authority; in those cases, we mark the dates as "Not yet published" and update the data as soon as official dates become available.

Regional coverage: For countries with regional holiday systems — including Germany's 16 federal states (Bundesländer), France's three school zones, Switzerland's 26 cantons, and the USA's 50 states plus Washington D.C. — we provide individual regional pages with localised data.

If you notice an incorrect date or missing information, please contact us. We review and update our data regularly and aim to correct errors within 48 hours of being notified.

Public holiday data is generally stable year to year, but school holiday dates — particularly for future years — can change when governments revise their educational calendars. We recommend verifying important dates with your local school or educational authority.
