Finland has 13 national public holidays in 2026 that apply everywhere, and 13 distinct dates once regional public holidays are included. The next public holiday in Finland is All Saints' Day on 31 October 2026, which is in 2 days.
These days appear on many calendars as public holidays, and sources genuinely disagree about them. Where they conflict, we follow the official government or statutory source and name it below, so a day is only counted in the totals on this page if the law actually gives it to you. That is why our figure can be lower than the one you see elsewhere.
Midsummer Eve (Juhannusaatto)Not a day off
What the law says: Not a statutory public holiday in Finland.
