Rwanda Public Holidays 2025

Complete list of public holidays — nationwide & regional

2025 2026 2027
There are 11 national public holidays in Rwanda during 2025. Helpfully for 2025, every one of them falls on a weekday, so each delivers a genuine day off work. There are 2 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.
