About this calendar
In 2027, Sri Lanka observes 25 public holidays, beginning with Tamil Thai Pongal Day on and ending with Christmas 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.
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.
