About this calendar
In 2026, Slovakia observes 11 public holidays, beginning with Day of the Establishment of the Slovak Republic on and ending with St. Stephen's 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.
Slovakia has long had one of the highest public holiday counts in the EU. Weekend holidays are not replaced, and on certain church holidays and state holidays large shops must stay closed by law, a rule stricter than in most neighbouring countries.
