What is the difference between a holiday and an observance?
Whether people are off. The calendar labels each date with its kind, as the date-holidays library defines it:
| Kind | What it means | For your posts |
|---|---|---|
| Public | A day off by law for most people | Expect lower weekday reach; post earlier in the week |
| Bank | Banks and many offices close | Business audiences are off; consumer audiences may be online |
| Observance | A recognised day that is not a day off | The usual themed-post days, such as Valentine’s Day |
| Optional | A day some people take off | Check whether your audience keeps it |
| School | Schools close | Families and students have more free time |
How do you plan social posts around holidays?
Choose the dates your audience keeps, not every date on the list, and have the posts ready a week ahead. In SkedCast, write a month of holiday posts in a spreadsheet and bulk import them, see them on the content calendar beside the holidays, and give each network its own version. The content calendar template is a free place to start.
How do you use the holiday calendar?
- Pick a month or a country. Browse by month for a general 2027 view, or jump to a specific country for its own public holidays.
- Check the holiday type. Public holidays, bank holidays and observances are labeled separately — not every date is a day people are actually off work.
- Plan content around dates that fit your audience. Not every holiday needs a post — pick the ones genuinely relevant to your brand and audience.
- Schedule ahead of the date. Bulk-import a batch of holiday-themed posts and schedule them in advance rather than remembering each date manually.
What does it look like in practice?

Holiday calendar FAQ
- Where does the holiday data come from?
- From date-holidays, an open-source holiday-rules library (CC-BY-3.0) — the same library SkedCast’s own in-app content calendar uses, not a hand-typed list.
- Are these dates confirmed for every year, including moon-sighting holidays?
- Fixed-date and rule-based holidays (like "3rd Monday in January") are computed precisely. Holidays set by moon sighting (some Islamic calendar dates) can land a day early or late — treat those as expected dates, not confirmed ones.
- What is the difference between a public holiday and an observance?
- A public holiday is typically a day off work by law; an observance is a recognized day (like Valentine’s Day) that isn’t a day off. Both are useful for content planning, but only one affects whether your audience is actually working that day.
- Does this cover more than 18 countries?
- The underlying library, date-holidays, covers 206 countries. 18 of them have their own page here, and the year view covers everyone with the US calendar plus the international social media days.
- Can I bulk-schedule posts for a whole month of holidays at once?
- Yes — SkedCast imports up to 2,500 posts per upload on Agency in one upload, so a month’s worth of holiday-themed posts can be planned and scheduled together rather than one at a time.
- Why is the general month view based on the US calendar?
- It’s the most common default for a general audience; for a different country’s specific holidays, use that country’s dedicated page instead.
- Is this a content marketing calendar, or just a list of dates?
- Both: it’s a social media holidays content marketing calendar, not just a date list — each holiday is typed (public holiday, bank holiday, or observance) so you can decide which ones are actually worth a post before you schedule anything.
