| Wed 4 Aug, Thu 5 Aug, Fri 6 Aug, Sat 7 Aug | 3 Aug – 8 Aug 2027 | 4 | 6 | 1.5 | Anniversary of the Proclamation of Independence |
Counted are gaps of up to four working days between a public holiday and the weekend or another public holiday. "Ratio" = days off per day of leave. Weekends follow the local working week.
Dates are generated from the open-source library python-holidays and automatically cross-checked against Nager.Date and the public Google Calendar holiday calendars; every holiday on a working day must be confirmed by a second source. Official announcements take precedence, especially for holidays that depend on the moon or are declared at short notice.
