Bridge day check
Falls on a Friday, so it makes a three-day weekend with no leave needed.
What the day is for
The national day: parades, flags, official ceremonies and, in most places, fireworks after dark.
Do shops and banks close?
Government offices and banks closed; retail varies by country.
Getting around
Route closures around parades and heavy crowding around evening displays.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
