Netherlands Public Holidays 2031 — Full List with Dates

The Netherlands' 2031 public holiday calendar closes the dataset with King's Day observed on Saturday 26 April — the celebrations and vrijmarkt take place on a Saturday, which is inherently convenient for most workers but provides no additional weekday off.

Easter Sunday is 13 April 2031. Good Friday (11 April) and Easter Monday (14 April) are public holidays. Ascension Day (22 May, Thursday) creates a bridge day opportunity on Friday 23 May. Whit Monday (1 June) follows.

Liberation Day (5 May) is a memorial day in 2031 but not a paid holiday — the next full statutory Liberation Day holiday after 2030 will be 2035. Christmas Day (25 December) falls on a Thursday and Second Christmas Day (26 December) on a Friday — a natural four-day festive break from Thursday 25 to Sunday 28 December, the best Christmas placement of the 2024–2031 period for Dutch workers.

Easter Sunday is 13 April 2031. Good Friday (11 April) and Easter Monday (14 April) are public holidays. Ascension Day (22 May, Thursday) and Whit Monday (1 June) follow.

Is Christmas favourable in the Netherlands in 2031?

Yes — Christmas Day (25 December) falls on a Thursday and Second Christmas Day (26 December) on a Friday. The festive break runs naturally from Thursday 25 to Sunday 28 December — a four-day holiday without annual leave. One of the best Christmas placements in the 2024–2031 period.

Is Ascension Day a good bridge day in 2031?

Yes — Ascension Day falls on Thursday 22 May 2031. Taking Friday 23 May as annual leave creates a four-day weekend — the spring's standout bridge day opportunity.
