Holiday patterns in 2026

Norway's holiday calendar in 2026 is marked by two significant clusters. The first occurs in spring, with Easter-related observances falling within April, followed by a series of holidays in May, including Labour Day and Constitution Day. This creates a busy period of frequent observances.

The remainder of the year features a more dispersed pattern. New Year's Day opens the calendar, and Christmas Day along with St. Stephen's Day conclude it in December. The months between May and December are notably quiet, with no public holidays observed.
