Zambia observes 16 nationwide public holidays each year. Every holiday applies nationwide, so there are no regional days to track. 12 keep the same date every year, such as New Year's Day, International Women's Day and 10 others. The other 4 move from year to year — Good Friday, Easter Saturday, Easter Sunday and 1 other — so check the date before you plan. In 2026, International Women's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday and 7 others land on a Monday or Friday, giving a three-day weekend with no leave needed.
