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

   In Hungary’s supplied 2027 calendar, 1 January is listed as Újév (New Year’s Day) and classified as a public holiday. The accompanying background identifies 1 January as the first day of the Gregorian calendar year and traces the name January to Janus, the Roman god associated with gateways and beginnings. These are general New Year’s facts, not evidence of a uniquely Hungarian custom. The calendar listing supports the holiday entry; it does not describe how people in Hungary observe it.

2. Mon, 15 Mar 2027National Day

   Hungary’s supplied calendar lists 15 March as Nemzeti ünnep (National Day) and classifies it as public. The accompanying explanation describes national days in general as occasions marking statehood, nationhood, or significant events in a country’s history. It does not identify the particular historical event commemorated by Hungary on this date, so this entry does not assign one. An official Hungarian source would help confirm the date’s specific historical meaning and the holiday’s legal scope.

3. Fri, 26 Mar 2027Good Friday

   The supplied Hungarian calendar lists Nagypéntek (Good Friday) on 26 March 2027 as a public holiday. The accompanying background describes Good Friday as a solemn Christian observance commemorating the crucifixion and death of Jesus at Calvary. It also notes that the date changes from year to year because it is tied to Easter. This context explains the religious observance generally; it does not describe particular Hungarian services or customs, and the calendar listing alone does not establish the holiday’s full legal scope.

4. Mon, 29 Mar 2027Easter Monday

   Hungary’s supplied calendar lists Húsvéthétfő (Easter Monday) on 29 March 2027 as a public holiday. The accompanying background describes Easter Monday as the second day of Eastertide and notes that it is a public holiday in more than 50 predominantly Christian countries. This gives the day’s wider Christian-calendar context, but does not establish specific Hungarian customs. The calendar supports its inclusion as a public-holiday entry in Hungary; it does not independently spell out the legal scope of the observance.

5. Sat, 01 May 2027Labour Day

   The supplied Hungarian calendar lists A munka ünnepe (Labour Day) on 1 May 2027 as a public holiday. The accompanying background explains that Labour Day is linked with International Workers’ Day on 1 May in most countries and describes its connection to the labour movement, including campaigns for an eight-hour working day. That is general historical context; the excerpt does not detail Hungary’s own Labour Day history or observances. The calendar entry supports listing the date as a public holiday but does not independently establish its full legal scope.

6. Mon, 17 May 2027Pentecost Monday

   Hungary’s supplied calendar lists Pünkösdhétfő (Pentecost Monday) on 17 May 2027 as a public holiday. The accompanying background describes Pentecost Monday as the day after Pentecost, a movable Christian feast whose date is determined by Easter. This explains why the date changes from year to year. The supplied material gives the holiday’s general liturgical context but does not describe particular Hungarian observances. The calendar listing supports its inclusion as a public-holiday entry, without independently establishing its full legal scope.

7. Fri, 20 Aug 2027State Foundation Day

   The supplied Hungarian calendar lists 20 August 2027 as Az államalapítás ünnepe (State Foundation Day) and classifies it as public. This supports treating it as a recognized public-holiday calendar entry in Hungary. No contextual account was supplied to explain the name’s historical reference, specific traditions, or legal scope, so this entry does not add those details. Official Hungarian government material could help verify the day’s meaning and status; the suggested source is a lead, not a source consulted for this entry.

8. Sat, 23 Oct 2027National Day

   The supplied Hungarian calendar lists 23 October as Nemzeti ünnep (National Day) and classifies it as public. The accompanying explanation describes national days generally as marking statehood, nationhood, or significant events in a country’s history. It does not identify the particular historical event commemorated by Hungary on this date, so this entry does not assign one. An official Hungarian source could confirm the date’s specific historical meaning and the holiday’s legal scope.

9. Mon, 01 Nov 2027All Saints' Day

   Hungary’s supplied calendar lists Mindenszentek (All Saints’ Day) on 1 November 2027 as a public holiday. The accompanying background describes the Christian observance as honoring all the saints of the Church and places it within the wider Western Christian calendar. It also notes that cemetery rituals take place in some countries where the day is a public holiday, but does not establish particular Hungarian customs. The calendar supports the holiday entry; it does not independently specify the day’s full legal scope.

10. Sat, 25 Dec 2027Christmas Day

    The supplied Hungarian calendar lists Karácsony (Christmas Day) on 25 December 2027 as a public holiday. The accompanying overview says that Christmas in Hungary includes traditions similar to those in other Central European countries, alongside customs unique to the region. It does not name or describe those customs, so this entry avoids attributing particular practices to the day. The calendar provides the date, local name, and public classification; it does not independently establish the holiday’s full legal scope.

11. Sun, 26 Dec 2027Second Day of Christmas

    The supplied Hungarian calendar lists 26 December 2027 as Karácsony másnapja (Second Day of Christmas) and classifies it as public. This supports including it as a public-holiday calendar entry in Hungary. No context excerpt was supplied for this specific date, so its historical background, customs, and legal scope remain unverified here. An official Hungarian source could help confirm the meaning and status of the observance; the suggested source is a lead only, not a source consulted for this entry.
