About this calendar
In 2027, Ethiopia observes 13 public holidays, beginning with Ethiopian Christmas Day on and ending with Meskel 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.
Ethiopia runs on its own calendar of thirteen months, roughly seven to eight years behind the Gregorian count, with New Year (Enkutatash) falling in September. Public holidays mix Ethiopian Orthodox feasts calculated on that calendar with Islamic dates, so the national holiday list moves against the Gregorian year from two directions at once.
