1. Fri, 01 Jan 2027New Year’s Day

   Nieuwjaarsdag is listed for 1 January 2027 in the Netherlands under its Dutch name, Nieuwjaarsdag. In the Gregorian calendar, 1 January marks the beginning of the year. The calendar classifies the date as a public holiday, but that label alone does not establish whether every workplace closes or every employee receives time off. Those arrangements may depend on employment terms. The supplied context describes the date’s place in the calendar, rather than Dutch-specific customs or workplace rules.

2. Fri, 26 Mar 2027Good Friday

   Goede vrijdag, or Good Friday, is listed in the Netherlands for 26 March 2027. In Christian observance, the day commemorates the crucifixion and death of Jesus and falls during Holy Week; its date changes from year to year with Easter. The calendar classifies it as a public holiday. That classification should not be taken to mean that every Dutch employee has the day off, since workplace arrangements are not established by the calendar entry.

3. Sun, 28 Mar 2027Easter Sunday

   The Netherlands calendar lists 28 March 2027 as Easter Sunday, or Eerste paasdag. The context supplied with this entry is about Easter Monday, not Easter Sunday, so it does not substantiate Sunday-specific history or customs. The date and Dutch name are the holiday-specific details established here. The calendar’s PUBLIC classification supports its recognition in the listing, but does not establish workplace arrangements or a universal right to take the day off.

4. Mon, 29 Mar 2027Easter Monday

   Tweede paasdag, or Easter Monday, is listed for 29 March 2027 in the Netherlands. In Western Christianity it is the second day of Eastertide, following Easter Sunday; its date therefore moves with Easter. The supplied context also notes that it is a public holiday in many countries. The Dutch calendar classifies it as PUBLIC, but that entry alone does not show whether every employer closes or whether all workers are entitled to a day off.

5. Tue, 27 Apr 2027King’s Day

   Koningsdag is the Dutch celebration associated with the reigning monarch’s birthday. The 2027 calendar lists it on 27 April, the birthday of King Willem-Alexander, and classifies it as PUBLIC. The supplied calendar entry does not explain the holiday’s history or establish that every employee has the day off. For confirmation of the official date and any changes to it, the Dutch Royal House and government holiday information are appropriate sources to consult.

6. Wed, 05 May 2027Liberation Day

   Bevrijdingsdag, or Liberation Day, is listed in the Netherlands on 5 May 2027. In the Dutch context, the day commemorates liberation from Nazi German occupation in 1945. The calendar classifies it as a public holiday, but that does not mean every employee automatically has the day off; work arrangements can depend on employment terms and collective agreements. The supplied context explains the general meaning of a Liberation Day, while the Dutch-specific historical detail would benefit from confirmation by an authoritative national source.

7. Thu, 06 May 2027Ascension Day

   Hemelvaartsdag, known in English as Ascension Day, is listed in the Netherlands for 6 May 2027. In Christian tradition, Ascension Day commemorates Jesus’s ascension and is observed on a Thursday, forty days after Easter Sunday. These religious details are country-specific background, not information provided by the attached calendar record. The calendar’s PUBLIC classification indicates recognition in the listing, but does not establish whether every workplace closes or every employee is entitled to the day off.

8. Sun, 16 May 2027Whit Sunday

   The Netherlands calendar lists 16 May 2027 as Whit Sunday, or Eerste pinksterdag. The supplied context discusses Whit Monday, the following day, and therefore does not verify this Sunday’s particular meaning or traditions. Whit Sunday is also known as Pentecost Sunday in Christian calendars, but that background is not established by the attached excerpt. The calendar’s PUBLIC classification supports its inclusion in the listing, though it does not establish whether employees receive time off.

9. Mon, 17 May 2027Whit Monday

   Tweede pinksterdag, or Whit Monday, is listed in the Netherlands for 17 May 2027. It is the Monday after Pentecost Sunday in the Christian calendar, so its date shifts with Easter. The supplied context describes it as a moveable feast and explains that the name Whit Monday derives from Whitsunday. The Dutch calendar classifies it as PUBLIC; that listing recognizes the date but does not establish that every employee is entitled to time off.

10. Sat, 25 Dec 2027Christmas Day

    Eerste kerstdag, or Christmas Day, is listed in the Netherlands on 25 December 2027. The supplied context describes Christmas as a religious and cultural observance commemorating the birth of Jesus, commonly celebrated on that date. The Dutch calendar classifies the day as PUBLIC, but the listing does not show which workplaces close or whether every employee receives time off. The Dutch name also distinguishes this date from Tweede kerstdag, listed separately on the following day.

11. Sun, 26 Dec 2027Boxing Day

    The Dutch calendar lists 26 December 2027 as Tweede kerstdag, or the second day of Christmas, and uses “Boxing Day” as its English name. The supplied context describes Boxing Day as the day after Christmas; it does not establish that Dutch observance shares the customs associated with that name elsewhere. The calendar classifies the date as PUBLIC, but this alone does not establish workplace closures or a universal right to take the day off.
