Think today is a holiday somewhere in the world? The answer might surprise you.
With religious, national, regional and one-off public holidays it seems like everyday must be a holiday somewhere in the world. Despite the fact there are over 200 countries and territories – each with their own list of public holidays – there are actually ten days of the year where no one is observing a public holiday.
In 2007 these dates include: January 18 and 24, February 13, March 13, August 18 and 22, September 5 and 20, November 27 and December 14.
In contrast, there is not a single day where every country in the world celebrates a holiday. Some dates do come close: New Year’s Day and May Day/Labour Day are widely (but not universally) observed. Other major holidays include the end of Ramadan and Christmas Day.
Because holidays occur according to different rule calculations, these days will different from year to year. Check out the Q++ Studio website and our events calendar to find out what's happening around the world.
