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.
Sri Lanka adds a holiday most countries do not have: every full moon day, called a Poya day, is a public holiday, which puts one extra day off in nearly every month. Offices otherwise run Monday to Friday with a Saturday-Sunday weekend.
