About this calendar
In 2027, Botswana observes 11 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.
Botswana observes its public holidays strictly: when one falls on a Sunday, the following Monday becomes a public holiday by law. Paired holidays like the President's Day weekend produce reliable four-day breaks in July.
