HolidayCalendar is a web-based platform that aggregates public holidays, international observances, and religious calendars into a single, searchable calendar view, helping users plan travel, work schedules, and content campaigns around global dates.
What is HolidayCalendar?
HolidayCalendar is a free online tool that combines public holidays by country, international observances (UN days, awareness weeks), religious calendars (Christian, Islamic, Jewish, Hindu, Buddhist, Sikh, Orthodox), and printable calendars into one organized interface. It takes raw holiday data from multiple public sources, normalizes it into a unified format, and outputs a clean monthly/yearly calendar view with individual holiday pages that include background context and related dates. The platform runs entirely in a web browser with no downloads required and is maintained by an independent developer.

- Country-Specific Public Holidays — Access official holidays for 12+ popular countries (US, UK, Canada, Australia, India, Singapore, Germany, France, Japan, Brazil, Ireland, New Zealand) with year-specific lists and links to full 2026 calendars.
