Solar and lunar calendars in our markets
Many holidays are fixed by the moon, not the Gregorian date. These are the calendars behind the dates above.
Gregorian
The civil calendar of every market – public holidays are fixed or moved to a weekday by law.
All 49 markets
Chinese lunisolar
Lunisolar: months start at the new moon, the year at the second new moon after the winter solstice. Sets Lunar New Year, Qingming, Dragon Boat and Mid-Autumn.
Korean lunar (Dangi)
Korea’s lunar calendar, calculated for Korean time – Seollal and Chuseok can differ by a day from China.
Islamic (Hijri)
Purely lunar, 354–355 days, so holidays move about 11 days earlier each year. Ramadan and the two Eids depend on moon sighting.
Hebrew
Lunisolar with a leap month 7 times in 19 years; days begin at sunset, so holidays start the evening before.
Hindu lunisolar
Lunisolar tithis (lunar days) fix Diwali, Holi and other festivals; regional calendars vary.
Buddhist lunar
Full-moon days of the lunar months set Vesak, Makha Bucha and Buddhist Lent in Thailand, Cambodia and beyond; Thailand counts years in the Buddhist Era (+543).
Bengali
Solar calendar of Bangladesh – Pohela Boishakh (Bengali New Year) falls on 14 April.
Dates follow official government lists where published. Islamic and other moon-sighting dates, and holidays not yet gazetted for next year, are marked "estimated" and may move by a day. Always confirm with your local partner before fixing a deadline.
