About this calendar
In 2026, Ghana observes 15 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with Day off for Boxing 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.
Ghana works Monday to Friday. When a public holiday falls on a weekend, the following Monday is typically declared a holiday in its place, and the government also shifts some mid-week holidays to Fridays or Mondays to reduce disruption.
