Social media holiday calendar

Browse public holidays and observances by month or by country, computed from date-holidays’ own rules (the same library SkedCast’s own console calendar uses) rather than a hand-typed list that goes stale. Pick a 2027 month for a general (US-calendar) view, or a specific country for its own public holidays — useful for planning content around dates your audience actually observes.

How to use the holiday calendar

  1. 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.
  2. Check the holiday type. Public holidays, bank holidays and observances are labeled separately — not every date is a day people are actually off work.
  3. Plan content around dates that fit your audience. Not every holiday needs a post — pick the ones genuinely relevant to your brand and audience.
  4. Schedule ahead of the date. Bulk-import a batch of holiday-themed posts and schedule them in advance rather than remembering each date manually.

Worked examples

A US-calendar month view

January 2027 in the US calendar includes New Year’s Day (January 1) and Martin Luther King Jr. Day (the 3rd Monday), each labeled with its holiday type.

18 countries with dedicated pages

Beyond the general month view, 18 countries — including the US, UK, India, Australia, Brazil and more — have their own page with that country’s specific public holidays.

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 covers 206 countries; this site has dedicated pages built for 18 of them so far, with the general month view available for every visitor regardless of country.
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.
