The busiest stretch is May (3 holidays), a good window to plan around if you rely on offices, banks or schools being open. One of them falls on a weekend in 2027, so it is worth checking whether that day is made up during the week. Below you will find the full 2027 list for Ukraine, sorted by date, with the weekday marked for quick planning. The list is the national one, and Ukraine also has sub-national calendars that differ from it, so check the note above the table before you rely on a single date.
Frequently asked questions
How many public holidays does Ukraine have in 2027?
Ukraine has 11 national public holidays in 2027. The first is New Year on 1 January 2027 and the last is Christmas Day on 25 December 2027, observed on Monday 27 December 2027.
What is the first public holiday of 2027 in Ukraine?
The first public holiday of 2027 is New Year, which falls on 1 January 2027.
When is New Year celebrated in Ukraine in 2027?
In 2027, New Year in Ukraine is on 1 January 2027.
Which 2027 holidays in Ukraine are moved to another day?
4 are: Labour Day, which falls on 1 May 2027 but is taken on Tuesday 4 May 2027, Orthodox Easter, which falls on 2 May 2027 but is taken on Monday 3 May 2027 and Pentecost, which falls on 20 June 2027 but is taken on Monday 21 June 2027, plus 1 more. A moved holiday is one holiday with a shifted day off, not two holidays, so it is counted once here. Sites that list both the weekend date and its replacement report a higher total than the official calendar does.
Are regional holidays included for Ukraine?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of Ukraine are listed separately on the Ukraine holiday hub, together with the regions that observe them.
Do the Ukraine holiday dates change from 2027 to the next year?
Some of them do. Two of the 11 holidays in 2027 sit on a moving rule (linked to orthodox 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 Orthodox Easter on 3 May 2027 and Pentecost on 21 June 2027.
How far ahead is the Ukraine 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. This table also applies 3 corrections to the underlying open dataset, each checked against the legislation. The full list with sources is on the Ukraine holiday hub.
Which Ukraine 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 Ukraine 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.
