JSON · Add to calendar

1. Fri, 01 Jan 2027New Year's Day

   Croatia’s calendar lists Nova Godina, or New Year’s Day, on 1 January 2027 as a public holiday. The date marks the start of the Gregorian calendar year, a convention used in civil calendars across much of the world. The supplied background also notes the Roman association of January with Janus, a god linked with beginnings. It does not establish any particular Croatian customs or independently explain the holiday’s legal scope, so this entry stays with the date and general calendar context.

2. Wed, 06 Jan 2027Epiphany

   Croatia’s calendar lists Bogojavljanje ili Sveta tri kralja—Epiphany—on 6 January 2027 as a public holiday. Epiphany is a Christian feast, and the Croatian name includes the reference “Three Kings.” The supplied context excerpt is only a brief disambiguation and does not describe the feast, its place in Croatian religious life, or any local customs. This entry therefore reports the calendar listing without making claims about how people in Croatia observe the date or the holiday’s precise legal coverage.

3. Mon, 29 Mar 2027Easter Monday

   Croatia’s calendar lists Uskrsni ponedjeljak, or Easter Monday, on 29 March 2027 as a public holiday. In the supplied background, Easter Monday is described as the second day of Eastertide; in Western Christianity, it falls within the Octave of Easter. The calendar entry establishes the listed date and classification, while the general context explains the day’s place in the Christian calendar. The supplied information does not detail specifically Croatian customs or independently establish the holiday’s legal scope across the country.

4. Sat, 01 May 2027Labour Day

   Croatia’s calendar lists Praznik rada, or Labour Day, on 1 May 2027 as a public holiday. The supplied background connects Labour Day in many countries with International Workers’ Day and the labour movement. It also describes the eight-hour-day campaign as part of the observance’s historical roots. Those are general international associations, not evidence of a particular Croatian event or custom. The calendar confirms the date and public classification, but the supplied material does not independently establish the holiday’s legal scope in Croatia.

5. Thu, 27 May 2027Corpus Christi

   Croatia’s calendar lists Tijelovo, or Corpus Christi, on 27 May 2027 as a public holiday. The supplied context explains that “Corpus Christi” is Latin for “body of Christ,” but does not describe the feast’s religious meaning in detail or its Croatian observance. The date and public classification come from the calendar listing; the general name explanation is not evidence of local customs or legal coverage. This entry therefore avoids attributing particular ceremonies or practices to people in Croatia without a more specific source.

6. Sun, 30 May 2027Statehood Day

   Croatia’s calendar lists Dan državnosti, or Statehood Day, on 30 May 2027 as a public holiday. The supplied context excerpt only identifies Statehood Day as the name of observances in several places; it does not explain the Croatian holiday or the historical milestone it commemorates. The listing therefore supports the date, Croatian name and public classification, but not a detailed account of its history or legal scope. For a fuller explanation, an authoritative Croatian source would be needed rather than relying on the supplied disambiguation excerpt.

7. Tue, 22 Jun 2027Anti-Fascist Struggle Day

   Croatia’s calendar lists Dan antifašističke borbe, or Anti-Fascist Struggle Day, on 22 June 2027 as a public holiday. The supplied context links the date to the formation of the First Sisak Partisan Detachment on 22 June 1941, during the Second World War. It also says the holiday was introduced by the Croatian Parliament in 1991. This background provides a specific historical context for the observance; the supplied calendar record gives its 2027 date and public classification. The material does not independently establish its legal scope across Croatia.

8. Thu, 05 Aug 2027Victory and Homeland Thanksgiving Day and the Day of Croatian Defenders

   Croatia’s calendar lists Dan pobjede i domovinske zahvalnosti i Dan hrvatskih branitelja—the Day of Victory and Homeland Thanksgiving and the Day of Croatian Defenders—on 5 August 2027 as a public holiday. The observance is commonly associated with Croatia’s 1995 Operation Storm and the recapture of Knin, but no context excerpt was supplied here to document that history or the official commemorative framing. The calendar supports the listed date, name and classification only. An authoritative Croatian source should be consulted for a fuller account.

9. Sun, 15 Aug 2027Assumption Day

   Croatia’s calendar lists Velika Gospa, or Assumption Day, on 15 August 2027 as a public holiday. In the supplied context, the Assumption is a Catholic belief that Mary was taken body and soul into heaven at the end of her earthly life; the feast is celebrated on this date. The same context notes the related Eastern Christian observance of the Dormition. These details explain the religious background but do not describe specifically Croatian practices or independently establish the holiday’s legal scope in the country.

10. Mon, 01 Nov 2027All Saints' Day

    Croatia’s calendar lists Svi sveti, or All Saints’ Day, on 1 November 2027 as a public holiday. The supplied background describes the date as a Christian holy day honouring all the saints of the Church and notes that it is a solemnity in Catholicism. It also discusses cemetery customs in places where the day is a public holiday, but does not establish which practices are followed in Croatia. The calendar confirms the listed date and classification; further local detail would need a Croatia-specific source.

11. Thu, 18 Nov 2027Remembrance Day

    Croatia’s calendar lists this observance on 18 November 2027 as a public holiday. Its full Croatian name identifies it as a day of remembrance for victims of the Homeland War and for the victims of Vukovar and Škabrnja. The supplied context excerpt concerns a different Remembrance Day, associated with 11 November in Commonwealth countries, so it cannot substantiate the Croatian memorial’s history. This entry relies on the calendar’s Croatian name and listing rather than transferring details from that unrelated excerpt.

12. Sat, 25 Dec 2027Christmas

    Croatia’s calendar lists Božić, or Christmas, on 25 December 2027 as a public holiday. The supplied context describes Christmas as a Christian feast commemorating the birth of Jesus, observed primarily on this date. It also notes that Christmas has religious and cultural significance for many people, while customs vary between communities. These general details explain the day’s broader background, not particular Croatian practices. The calendar supports the listed date and classification; the supplied material does not independently establish the holiday’s legal scope across Croatia.

13. Sun, 26 Dec 2027Christmas

    The supplied Croatia calendar record labels 26 December 2027 as Božić, or Christmas, and classifies it as a public holiday. However, Christmas is observed on 25 December; in Croatia, 26 December is St Stephen’s Day (Sveti Stjepan), a separate public holiday. The record may therefore have an incorrect English and local holiday name for this date. The supplied Christmas background supports the usual 25 December date but does not verify the Croatian legal listing or the correction. Check an official Croatian source before publishing this entry as Christmas.
