About this calendar
In 2026, Sweden observes 16 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with New Year's Eve 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.
Sweden does not compensate weekend holidays, but practice softens the calendar: many workplaces close early on the day before a major holiday, and Midsummer Eve, though technically not a public holiday, is treated as one by nearly the entire country.
