How public holidays work in Nauru
The calendar separates public holidays from regional dates and cultural observances. Public holidays are the broadest category in our Nauru calendar. Regional holidays may apply only in a particular state, province, territory or community, while an observance does not automatically mean that workplaces, schools or public services close.
No separate substitute dates are currently listed for 2026. Weekend and time-off rules can still vary by employer, region and holiday, so consult the linked guide and primary source before making arrangements. April is the busiest month, with 3 listed dates.
