Luxembourg public holidays 2026

JSON · Add to calendar

1. Thu, 01 Jan 2026New Year

   Luxembourg’s supplied calendar lists Neujahr on 1 January 2026 and classifies it as a public holiday. The accompanying context explains the date’s general calendar significance: in the Gregorian calendar, 1 January begins the new year. That establishes the basic meaning of this entry, but the supplied material does not detail local customs, closures, or the scope of any legal entitlements. This entry therefore sticks to the date and classification recorded rather than assuming how people observe it.

2. Fri, 03 Apr 2026Good Friday

   The supplied Luxembourg calendar lists Karfreitag (Good Friday) on 3 April 2026 as a bank holiday, not a public holiday. The accompanying background describes Good Friday as a Christian observance commemorating Jesus’ crucifixion and death. The classification is important: this record supports a bank-related listing, but it does not establish a general statutory day off or specify which institutions close. International practices mentioned in the background should not be taken as proof of Luxembourg-specific arrangements.

3. Mon, 06 Apr 2026Easter Monday

   Ostermontag, or Easter Monday, is listed in the supplied Luxembourg calendar as a public holiday on 6 April 2026. The accompanying context places it within Eastertide, describing it as the second day of Eastertide in Western Christianity. That provides the religious-calendar context for the date without establishing particular Luxembourg customs. The calendar’s classification supports presenting it as a public holiday listing; it does not, by itself, detail legal entitlements, closures, or the observance’s local practices.

4. Fri, 01 May 2026Mayday

   The supplied Luxembourg calendar lists 1. Mai on 1 May 2026 as a public holiday. Its attached context excerpt is about “Mayday” as an emergency radio signal, so it does not explain the meaning of this holiday entry and should not be used as its history. The local name establishes the date, but the supplied evidence does not confirm the occasion’s specific designation or associated traditions. An official Luxembourg source would help verify whether it is formally identified as Labour Day or by another name.

5. Sat, 09 May 2026Europe Day

   The supplied Luxembourg calendar lists Europatag (Europe Day) as a public holiday on 9 May 2026. The accompanying context distinguishes the European Union’s 9 May Europe Day from the Council of Europe’s observance on 5 May. It links the EU date to the 1950 Schuman Declaration, which proposed the European Coal and Steel Community. This provides useful context for the calendar entry, but the supplied material does not describe Luxembourg-specific events or how the day is observed locally.

6. Thu, 14 May 2026Ascension Day

   The supplied calendar lists Christi Himmelfahrt (Ascension Day) as a Luxembourg public holiday on 14 May 2026. No context excerpt was provided, so the supplied evidence confirms only the recorded name, date, and classification; it does not explain the observance’s religious significance or local practice. The familiar Christian association of Ascension Day should be checked against an authoritative church or Luxembourg source before adding more detail. This entry does not assume particular closures or that everyone observes the date.

7. Mon, 25 May 2026Whit Monday

   The supplied Luxembourg calendar lists Pfingstmontag (Whit Monday) as a public holiday on 25 May 2026. The accompanying context describes Whit Monday as the day after Pentecost and explains that its date moves with Easter in the Christian liturgical calendar. This helps situate the date without implying that every person observes it or that any particular local customs apply. The calendar supports the listed date and public-holiday classification, but does not provide further details about legal entitlements or closures.

8. Tue, 23 Jun 2026Grand Duke's Birthday

   The supplied calendar labels 23 June 2026 as Grand Duke’s Birthday (Großherzogsgeburtstag) and classifies it as a public holiday. No context excerpt was supplied to explain the name, its relationship to Luxembourg’s national celebrations, or whether it refers to a ceremonial birthday rather than the sovereign’s personal birth date. The date and label can be reported as listed, but those distinctions should be verified with an official Luxembourg source before adding historical or ceremonial detail.

9. Sat, 15 Aug 2026Assumption

   The supplied Luxembourg calendar lists Mariä Himmelfahrt (Assumption) as a public holiday on 15 August 2026. The accompanying context identifies the Christian subject as the Assumption of Mary, a belief concerning her being taken up into heaven. This clarifies the religious meaning of the entry without establishing how it is observed in Luxembourg or by which communities. The calendar supports the listed date and classification; further claims about local practice or legal entitlements would require an authoritative Luxembourg source.

10. Sun, 01 Nov 2026All Saints

    The supplied Luxembourg calendar lists Allerheiligen (All Saints) as a public holiday on 1 November 2026. The accompanying context identifies All Saints’ Day as a Christian holiday, which clarifies the observance behind the entry. It does not provide further detail about the day’s religious traditions or how it is observed in Luxembourg, so this entry avoids assuming particular practices. The date and public classification come from the calendar; an official national source would be needed to confirm legal scope and local details.

11. Fri, 25 Dec 2026Christmas Day

    The supplied Luxembourg calendar lists Erster Weihnachtsfeiertag (Christmas Day) as a public holiday on 25 December 2026. No context excerpt was provided, so the supplied material verifies the listed name, date, and classification but does not document the holiday’s religious meaning, local customs, or legal arrangements. This entry therefore avoids assuming how the day is marked or which services close. An official Luxembourg source could confirm the exact statutory designation and scope of the public-holiday listing.

12. Sat, 26 Dec 2026Boxing Day

    The supplied Luxembourg calendar lists 26 December 2026 as a public holiday, with the local name Zweiter Weihnachtsfeiertag, meaning the second Christmas holiday. It labels the entry Boxing Day, but the accompanying context describes Boxing Day’s broader history and celebrations elsewhere; it does not establish that those traditions apply in Luxembourg. The local name is the clearest country-specific wording supplied here. The calendar confirms the date and classification, while official national information could confirm the precise local designation and legal scope.
