Pakistan Public Holidays
Public holidays in Pakistan combine fixed national commemorations with Islamic religious festivals that follow the lunar Hijri calendar and therefore move earlier each year. The dates of religious holidays such as Eid depend on the sighting of the moon, so they are often confirmed only shortly in advance.

How public holidays work in Pakistan
Public holidays are the days most workplaces and schools in Pakistan treat as days off, so they shape when people travel, book time away and plan around childcare. Religious holidays and wider observances sit alongside them. They are not always days off, but they are dates many households still mark. Each year page lists the public and religious holidays in full, and OneHaus keeps the complete set current in your shared home calendar.
