Key Notes:
- Public Holidays vs. Observances:
- Bold = Public holiday (day off work/school in listed countries).
- Italics = Cultural/religious observance (not a day off).
- Lunar Calendar Adjustments: Islamic holidays (e.g., Eid al-Fitr) may shift by 1–2 days based on moon sightings.
- Monday Observances: Many countries move Sunday public holidays to Monday (e.g., Colombia’s July 20 → July 21).
For official holiday confirmations, check your country’s government announcements.
