About this calendar
In 2026, Denmark observes 14 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with New Year's Eve 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.
Denmark made headlines by abolishing Great Prayer Day in 2024, the first removal of a Danish holiday in centuries. The remaining calendar is Easter-heavy, and weekend holidays are not replaced.
