Bridge day check
Falls on the weekend, so it costs most people no leave — and in many countries no day is given back.
What the day is for
A Marian feast at the height of summer, heavily observed around the Mediterranean.
Do shops and banks close?
Banks and most shops closed; coastal resorts stay fully open.
Getting around
Peak holiday traffic — one of the busiest road days of the European summer.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
