About this calendar
In 2026, Pakistan observes 17 public holidays, beginning with Kashmir Day on and ending with Quaid-e-Azam 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.
Pakistan works Monday to Friday with a Saturday-Sunday weekend, restored in 2022 after years of a Saturday half day. Friday includes an extended midday break for congregational prayers, and Eid holidays typically run two to three days each.
