Eswatini Public Holidays 2025

Complete list of public holidays — nationwide & regional

2025 2026 2027
In 2025, Eswatini marks 13 public holidays that apply across the whole country. This year 3 of them land on a Saturday or Sunday, so only 10 reduce the working week. There are 3 clear "bridge day" opportunities this year — where a public holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, so taking the single adjoining day off turns it into a four-day weekend. The calendar opens with New Year's Day on Wednesday 1 January and closes with Boxing Day on Friday 26 December.
