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

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.

United StatesJapanUnited KingdomCanadaIndonesiaTaiwanIrelandSingaporeThailandMalaysiaPhilippinesPeru

Korean lunar (Dangi)

Korea’s lunar calendar, calculated for Korean time – Seollal and Chuseok can differ by a day from China.

South Korea

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.

United StatesGermanyUnited KingdomIndiaFranceCanadaTurkeyIndonesiaNetherlandsSaudi ArabiaIrelandBelgium

Hebrew

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.

United StatesUnited KingdomIndiaCanadaSingaporeMalaysiaBangladeshSouth AfricaKenyaGuyanaTrinidad and Tobago
