Ethiopia records 10 holidays in 2026. 10 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. ብርሃነ-ትንሣኤ/ፋሲካ (12 Apr 2026) and መስቀል (27 Sep 2026) fall on a weekend in 2026, so they hand back no extra day off. የአርበኞች ቀን (5 May 2026) and ደርግ የወደቀበት ቀን (28 May 2026) sit on a Tuesday or Thursday: book the Mondays and Fridays and each becomes a four-day break. The busiest month is May, with 3 of them. The longest run without one is 106 days, between 28 May 2026 and 11 Sep 2026. The last was መስቀል on 27 Sep 2026.
