Finland Public Holidays 2027
Finland has 13 national public holidays in 2027, starting with New Year's Day on 1 January 2027 and ending with Boxing Day on 26 December 2027. Christmas Day lands on a Saturday in 2027, on 25 December 2027, and no substitute weekday is granted for it here, so it costs the calendar a day off compared with a year when it falls midweek.

Frequently asked questions

When is New Year celebrated in Finland in 2027?
In 2027, New Year's Day in Finland is on 1 January 2027.
Are regional holidays included for Finland?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of Finland are listed separately on the Finland holiday hub, together with the regions that observe them.
Do the Finland holiday dates change from 2027 to the next year?
Some of them do. Seven of the 13 holidays in 2027 sit on a moving rule (linked to easter and set weekday of the month), 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 Good Friday on 26 March 2027, Easter Sunday on 28 March 2027 and Easter Monday on 29 March 2027, plus 4 more.
How far ahead is the Finland 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 Finland.
Which Finland 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 Finland holiday hub breaks that down: which holidays are fixed, which move and why, and which ones are observed in certain regions only.

Knowing the dates is half the question. The other half is what they add up to: which of them create a long weekend and how many working days the year leaves. The 2027 worldwide overview compares every country on holiday count and weekend overlap, and the country index ranks all 44 of them. The same figures are available as JSON, and the dates as a calendar file.
