Sweden Public Holidays
Sweden's public holidays are set out in the Public Holidays Act (lag om allmanna helgdagar) and are mostly rooted in the Christian calendar, with a small number of secular days. The dates of the Easter and Pentecost holidays move each year because they follow the ecclesiastical calendar.

How public holidays work in Sweden
Sweden does not grant substitute days when a public holiday falls on a weekend. Several eves, including Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve and Midsummer Eve, are not statutory holidays but are treated as de facto days off. Public holidays are the days most workplaces and schools in Sweden 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.
