About this calendar
In 2026, Belgium observes 14 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with St. Stephen's Day on . These are official days on which government offices, banks, schools, and most businesses are closed.
Holidays here include a mix of fixed dates (such as New Year's Day and national independence days) and variable dates (such as religious holidays that follow lunar or ecclesiastical calendars). Variable holidays may shift by 1–2 days from year to year.
Belgian law guarantees the value of all ten public holidays: when one falls on a weekend, the employer must grant a replacement day, usually agreed at company level. The standard week is 38 hours, Monday to Friday.
