Romania public holidays 2027
Public holiday dates for Romania in 2027, with calendar and JSON downloads.
- Fri, 01 Jan 2027New Year
The supplied Romanian calendar lists Anul Nou (New Year) as a public holiday on January 1, 2027. The accompanying New Year reference explains that January 1 marks the start of the year in the Gregorian calendar, the widely used civil calendar. These sources establish the listed date and the calendar connection, but do not describe Romanian-specific customs or independently document the holiday’s legal basis. This entry therefore avoids assuming how people in Romania observe the day.
- Wed, 06 Jan 2027Epiphany
The supplied Romanian calendar lists Bobotează, or Epiphany, as a public holiday on January 6, 2027. The local name and date are supported by that calendar record; the accompanying excerpt only says that “Epiphany” may refer to different things and does not explain the Romanian observance. No specific Romanian customs or history can be confirmed from the supplied context, so this entry does not attribute any. An official legal source could verify the holiday’s status, while an Orthodox Church calendar could clarify its religious context.
- Thu, 07 Jan 2027Saint John the Baptist Day
The supplied Romanian calendar lists Saint John the Baptist Day, locally named Sfântul Ion, as a public holiday on January 7, 2027. That record supports the date, name, and classification, but no explanatory context was supplied to confirm the Romanian religious or cultural meaning of the observance. This entry therefore does not infer particular customs or practices from the name alone. Romanian legislation could verify the public-holiday status, and an Orthodox Church calendar could help establish the observance’s religious context.
- Sun, 24 Jan 2027Day of the Unification of the Romanian Principalities
Romania’s Day of the Unification of the Principalities, or Ziua Micii Uniri, commemorates the union of Moldavia and Wallachia on January 24, 1859, under Alexandru Ioan Cuza. The supplied context describes this “Little Union” as an important step toward a unitary Romanian state. The holiday falls on January 24 in 2027, and the context says it has been a non-working day in Romania since 2016. The calendar and historical excerpt support both the listing and the commemoration.
- Fri, 30 Apr 2027Orthodox Good Friday
The supplied Romanian calendar lists Vinerea Mare, or Orthodox Good Friday, as a public holiday on April 30, 2027. It also lists Orthodox Easter Sunday on May 2, placing Good Friday two days before that observance in the calendar. No separate explanatory excerpt was supplied, so this entry does not add claims about Romanian religious practice or local customs. The calendar supports the listing and dates; Romanian legislation and an Orthodox Church calendar would be suitable sources for confirming the legal and religious context.
- Sat, 01 May 2027Labour Day
Romania’s calendar lists Ziua Muncii (Labour Day) as a public holiday on May 1, 2027. The supplied context connects Labour Day in many countries with International Workers’ Day, also observed on May 1, and with the labour movement’s history. It does not give Romania-specific history or describe how the date is observed locally. The entry is therefore limited to the calendar listing and the broader context provided, rather than assuming particular events or practices in Romania.
- Sun, 02 May 2027Orthodox Easter Sunday
The supplied Romanian calendar lists Prima zi de Paşte, or Orthodox Easter Sunday, as a public holiday on May 2, 2027. It also lists Orthodox Good Friday on April 30 and Easter Monday on May 3, placing this entry between the two dates. No separate contextual excerpt was supplied to verify Romanian customs or explain the religious observance, so this note does not assume how it is marked. The listed dates and names are the information established by the supplied calendar.
- Mon, 03 May 2027Orthodox Easter Monday
The supplied Romanian calendar lists A doua zi de Paște, or Orthodox Easter Monday, as a public holiday on May 3, 2027, the day after its listed Orthodox Easter Sunday. The record supports the name, date, and public classification. No explanatory context was supplied for this entry, so it does not establish Romanian-specific customs or describe how people observe the day. Romanian legal materials could verify its non-working status, and an Orthodox Church calendar could provide additional religious context.
- Tue, 01 Jun 2027Children's Day
Romania’s calendar lists Ziua Copilului (Children’s Day) as a public holiday on June 1, 2027. The supplied context notes that June 1 is observed as Children’s Day in many countries that were formerly part of the Eastern Bloc, while also stressing that the date varies across countries. That broad background is relevant but does not establish Romania-specific history or customs. This entry therefore identifies the listed Romanian date without assuming particular activities or how widely it is observed.
- Mon, 07 Jun 2027Orthodox Pentecost Sunday
The supplied calendar labels June 7, 2027, as Orthodox Pentecost Sunday, but the date and weekday do not agree: June 7 is a Monday. In 2027, Orthodox Easter Sunday falls on May 2, and Pentecost Sunday falls on June 20. This appears to be a date error rather than a separate Romanian holiday on June 7. The Romanian observance of Pentecost is recognized, but the supplied entry should not be used as a reliable date without checking an official church calendar or Romanian legal source.
- Sun, 20 Jun 2027Orthodox Pentecost Monday
The supplied calendar labels June 20, 2027, as Orthodox Pentecost Monday. However, June 20, 2027, is a Sunday and is the date of Orthodox Pentecost Sunday; the following Monday is June 21. This suggests the supplied date is shifted by one day, not that Pentecost Monday is absent from Romania’s public-holiday calendar. Check an official Romanian Orthodox calendar or legal listing before relying on June 20 as the Monday observance.
- Sat, 21 Aug 2027Assumption Day
The supplied Romanian calendar lists Assumption Day on August 21, 2027, but the accompanying context says the feast is celebrated on August 15. Romania recognizes the Assumption of Mary as a public holiday, and August 15 is the expected date; the supplied August 21 entry therefore appears to be incorrect. The context also notes the corresponding Eastern Christian observance is called the Dormition of the Mother of God. An official Romanian calendar should be checked before using the listed date.
- Tue, 30 Nov 2027Saint Andrew's Day
Romania’s calendar lists Sfântul Apostol Andrei (Saint Andrew’s Day) as a public holiday on November 30, 2027. The supplied context identifies November 30 as the feast day of Andrew the Apostle and notes his place in the New Testament. This supports the religious identification and date, while the calendar supports the Romanian public-holiday listing. The supplied material does not describe Romania-specific customs, so this entry does not make claims about how the day is observed locally.
- Wed, 01 Dec 2027National Day of Romania
The supplied Romanian calendar lists Ziua Națională a României (National Day of Romania) as a public holiday on December 1, 2027. The provided context excerpt is a general overview of Romanian public holidays and does not explain the historical significance of this particular date. Accordingly, this entry confirms only the name, date, and public classification recorded in the calendar; it does not add an unverified account of the day’s origins or customs. Official Romanian government or legal sources could verify those details.
- Sat, 25 Dec 2027First Christmas Day
The supplied Romanian calendar lists Prima zi de Crăciun (First Christmas Day) as a public holiday on December 25, 2027. The context excerpt attached to this entry concerns NBA games on Christmas Day and does not provide evidence about the Romanian holiday, so it is not used here. The calendar supports the listed name, date, and public classification, but does not establish Romanian-specific religious practices or customs. Romanian legislation and an authoritative church source could verify the holiday’s status and context.
- Sun, 26 Dec 2027Second Christmas Day
The supplied Romanian calendar lists A doua zi de Crăciun (Second Christmas Day) as a public holiday on December 26, 2027. The accompanying context describes Christmas observance internationally and notes that some governments recognize Christmas and the following day, but it does not establish Romanian-specific practices. The calendar is the evidence for this Romanian listing and its date. This entry avoids assuming how people observe the day; official Romanian legal and church sources could verify its status and religious context.
