The Ethiopia holiday calendar at a glance

Ethiopia observes 10 nationwide public holidays each year. Every holiday applies nationwide, so there are no regional days to track. 8 keep the same date every year, such as ልደተ-ለእግዚእነ/ ገና, ጥምቀት and 6 others. The other 2 move from year to year — ስቅለት and ብርሃነ-ትንሣኤ/ፋሲካ — so check the date before you plan. In 2026, ጥምቀት, የዓድዋ ድል በዓል, ስቅለት and 2 others land on a Monday or Friday, giving a three-day weekend with no leave needed.
