Many holidays are fixed by the moon, not the Gregorian date. These are the calendars behind the dates above.
The civil calendar of every market – public holidays are fixed or moved to a weekday by law.
All 49 markets
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.
Korea’s lunar calendar, calculated for Korean time – Seollal and Chuseok can differ by a day from China.
Purely lunar, 354–355 days, so holidays move about 11 days earlier each year. Ramadan and the two Eids depend on moon sighting.
Lunisolar with a leap month 7 times in 19 years; days begin at sunset, so holidays start the evening before.
Lunisolar tithis (lunar days) fix Diwali, Holi and other festivals; regional calendars vary.
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).
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.
