Bridge day check

Falls on a Monday, so it makes a three-day weekend with no leave needed.

What the day is for

Officially recognised as a public holiday, so most people have the day off work.

Do shops and banks close?

Expect offices, banks and the majority of shops to be closed.

Getting around

Public transport usually runs a Sunday or holiday timetable.

These notes come from the day's official classification rather than country-specific reporting, so treat them as general guidance for Ghana.

When it falls each year

Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
