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

   Estonia’s 2027 calendar entry places uusaasta (New Year’s Day) on Friday, January 1, and marks it PUBLIC. In the Gregorian calendar, January 1 opens the civil year; the supplied background notes that this date is widely used for New Year observances internationally. Those general facts explain the date, but do not establish Estonia-specific customs or the precise statutory scope of the listing. The calendar is the evidence here for the Estonian date and classification.

2. Wed, 24 Feb 2027Independence Day

   Estonia’s Independence Day, iseseisvuspäev, falls on Wednesday, February 24, in 2027. The supplied country-specific background explains that the date commemorates the publication of Estonia’s Declaration of Independence in Tallinn on February 24, 1918, establishing the Republic of Estonia. It is also formally known as the Anniversary of the Republic of Estonia. The calendar lists the date as PUBLIC; the supplied information supports its significance, though it does not independently set out the holiday’s precise legal coverage.

3. Fri, 26 Mar 2027Good Friday

   Good Friday, suur reede, is listed in Estonia’s 2027 calendar for Friday, March 26. The supplied background describes the Christian observance as a commemoration of Jesus’s crucifixion and death, and places it within Holy Week. Its date moves from year to year because it is linked to Easter. The Estonian calendar marks the day PUBLIC, but the information provided here does not independently establish the exact statutory scope of that designation or describe Estonia-specific observances.

4. Sun, 28 Mar 2027Easter Sunday

   For 2027, the supplied Estonian holiday calendar places Easter Sunday, ülestõusmispühade 1. püha, on March 28 and classifies it as PUBLIC. Easter Sunday is the Christian feast commemorating Jesus’s resurrection, but no context source was supplied here to document how Estonian institutions or communities mark the day. The calendar establishes the listed date, local name and classification; by itself, it does not verify the precise legal coverage or customary practice. Official Estonian information could clarify those details.

5. Sat, 01 May 2027Spring Day

   Estonia’s calendar lists kevadpüha, or Spring Day, on Saturday, May 1, 2027, and classifies it as PUBLIC. The supplied background describes Spring Day in general as a holiday marking the arrival of the spring season, while noting that observance dates differ among countries. That general description gives context for the name, but does not establish any particular Estonian customs or the precise legal scope of the calendar listing. The date and classification here come from the supplied calendar record.

6. Sun, 16 May 2027Pentecost

   Pentecost, nelipühade 1. püha, is listed in Estonia for Sunday, May 16, 2027.

Its date is movable because it is calculated in relation to Easter; the provided context places it 49 days after Easter, or the 50th day with inclusive counting.

7. Wed, 23 Jun 2027Victory Day

   Estonia’s 2027 calendar lists võidupüha, or Victory Day, on Wednesday, June 23, and marks it PUBLIC. The supplied background explains that the name Victory Day is used in different countries for holidays commemorating national victory or liberation. That general explanation does not identify the particular event or history associated with Estonia’s observance, so this entry avoids assigning it one. The calendar supports the date and classification; an authoritative Estonian source would be needed to confirm the specific commemoration and exact legal scope.

8. Thu, 24 Jun 2027Midsummer Day

   Jaanipäev, listed as Midsummer Day in Estonia’s 2027 calendar, falls on Thursday, June 24. The supplied background places European midsummer celebrations on or near the Northern Hemisphere’s summer solstice and describes outdoor gatherings as a tradition in some settings. That general context should not be taken as confirmation of particular customs in Estonia. The calendar identifies the Estonian date and marks it PUBLIC, but the material provided does not independently establish the precise legal scope of that listing.

9. Fri, 20 Aug 2027Day of Restoration of Independence

   Taasiseseisvumispäev, listed in English as the Day of Restoration of Independence, appears in Estonia’s 2027 calendar on Friday, August 20. The supplied background explains that independence days commonly mark a nation’s independence, statehood or a significant political change.

    Esimene jõulupüha, or Christmas Day, is listed in Estonia’s 2027 calendar for Saturday, December 25, and marked PUBLIC. The supplied background notes that Christmas observance varies across countries and religions, and that the day is recognized by many governments and cultures.

12. Sun, 26 Dec 2027Boxing Day
