When is New Year celebrated in Austria in 2027?
In 2027, New Year's Day in Austria is on January 1, 2027.
Are regional holidays included for Austria?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of Austria are listed separately on the Austria holiday hub, together with the federal states that observe them.
Do the Austria holiday dates change from 2027 to the next year?
Some of them do. 4 of the 13 holidays in 2027 sit on a moving rule (linked to easter), so their date has to be recalculated for every year. The rest keep the same calendar date and only change weekday. Moving ones this year include Easter Monday on March 29, 2027, Ascension Day on May 6, 2027 and Whit Monday on May 17, 2027, plus 1 more.
How far ahead is the Austria calendar actually fixed?
Through 2027. The holidays are set in law rather than announced year by year, so the dates repeat predictably. What can still change is a law amendment, a one-off holiday declared for a national event, and the exact day of any holiday on the Islamic calendar, which is confirmed by moon sighting. No corrections to the underlying dataset were needed for Austria.
Which Austria holidays are regional, and which move?
The table above is the national calendar for 2027. Some holidays keep the same date every year while others are tied to Easter, to a lunar calendar or to a named weekday, and some parts of the country add their own days off. The Austria holiday hub breaks that down: which holidays are fixed, which move and why, and which ones are observed in certain regions only.
