An observance is a rule, not a date. “Christmas Day in France” is one observance; resolved across 2025–2028 that single rule produces 10,235 dated closures in the national layer. Widen the window and the count changes — the rule does not, which is why the window is printed beside it.
Calendars vary in complexity. India spans federal holidays, state observances and several calendar traditions; Tuvalu does not. The counts below follow the structure of each jurisdiction rather than a target we set out to reach.
Every observance carries one of three labels. We never promote one tier to another for presentation, and the bar shows the real mix.
Compiled does not mean uncertain. Many dates come from a published rule rather than an annual announcement. Christmas Day and a lunar holiday awaiting a decree can both sit at compiled, for entirely different reasons. The label describes the evidence behind a date, not our confidence in it — a country stays at compiled until somebody reads its statute, and the ones that have been read say so.
Corroborated means two sources genuinely independent of each other. An aggregator agreeing with our own earlier research is one piece of evidence wearing two hats, so it does not qualify.
States, provinces, cantons and territories that carry holidays of their own — the reason a Bavarian calendar differs from a Berlin one. Countries with none are not listed.

Market calendars we hold closure data for, by country.

If a calendar, jurisdiction or exchange you need isn't here, tell us which one and what you need it for. Requests genuinely shape the order we build in.
