About this calendar
In 2026, Uganda observes 14 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with Boxing 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.
Ugandan offices run Monday to Friday. The list of public holidays mixes fixed national dates with both Christian and Islamic movable feasts, and Eid dates are confirmed only on moon sighting, sometimes the evening before.
