Notes
- Public holidays are taken on the day they fall and not moved to the following weekend, if they fall on a Saturday or Sunday.
- Each municipality has a maximum of 13 public holidays a year; up to nine holidays are set by the national government and at least two are chosen locally.
- The list of regional holidays changes every year, partly because of national holidays falling on Sundays.
