About this calendar

In 2027, New Zealand observes 23 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with 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.

New Zealand wrote weekend fairness into law: since 2013, Christmas, Boxing Day, New Year's holidays, Waitangi Day, and Anzac Day are all 'Mondayised' when they fall on a weekend. Each region also observes its own anniversary day, so the local calendar depends on which province you are in.
