The Suriname holiday calendar at a glance

Suriname observes 19 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, Three Kings Day and 12 others. The other 5 move from year to year — Chinese New Year, Good Friday, Easter Sunday and 2 others — so check the date before you plan. In 2026, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Labour Day and 2 others land on a Monday or Friday, giving a three-day weekend with no leave needed.

What these days actually mean

Observance, business closures and transport impact for the next few dates.

Independence Day

25 Nov 2026

Public
Observance
The national day: parades, flags, official ceremonies and, in most places, fireworks after dark.
Business
Government offices and banks closed; retail varies by country.
Transport
Route closures around parades and heavy crowding around evening displays.

Christmas Day

25 Dec 2026

Public
Observance
The central Christian winter feast; in most countries the household gathering matters more than the church service.
Business
Near-total closure of retail, offices and banks. Expect the preceding afternoon to shut early too.
Transport
Skeleton or suspended services in many countries. Book intercity travel well ahead.

Boxing Day

26 Dec 2026

Public
Observance
The day after Christmas — traditionally for visiting, sport fixtures and, more recently, the sales.
Business
A bank holiday, but large retailers open for discount trading in many countries.
Transport
Limited early services; shopping districts get very crowded from mid-morning.
