The Kiribati holiday calendar at a glance

Kiribati observes 16 nationwide public holidays each year. Every holiday applies nationwide, so there are no regional days to track. 14 keep the same date every year, such as New Year's Day, International Women's Day and 12 others. The other 2 move from year to year — Good Friday and Easter Monday — so check the date before you plan. In 2026, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Labour Day and 5 others land on a Monday or Friday, giving a three-day weekend with no leave needed.
