Why we built this

Every year millions of people Google "is today a public holiday?" It's a simple question that should have a simple answer. Most sites make you dig through tables, scroll past ads, and click through multiple pages just to find out if you have the day off.

We built publicholiday.today to answer that question instantly — one tap, one answer, for anywhere in the world.

How it works

When you visit the site we automatically detect your country from your IP address. We then check today's date against the official public holiday calendar for your country and give you a straight answer — yes or no.

Holiday data comes from Nager.Date, an open source project that maintains accurate public holiday data for 100+ countries, updated annually.

Free. Forever.

publicholiday.today is completely free to use. We keep the lights on through Google AdSense — small, unobtrusive ads that appear on the page. No paywalls, no sign ups, no tracking beyond what's described in our privacy policy.

Are you a developer?

We offer a simple REST API that lets you query public holiday data for any country programmatically. Perfect for payroll software, scheduling apps, e-commerce platforms, and more. Free tier available.
