About this calendar

In 2026, Rwanda observes 15 public holidays, beginning with New Year on and ending with Boxing Day Observed 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.

When a public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, the practice of observing a substitute day off varies by employer, sector, and employment contract.
