About Public Holidays in البحرين
Bahrain's holidays reflect Islamic faith and a modern Gulf monarchy. The two Eids and the Islamic New Year follow the lunar calendar, and the country observes the National Day on December 16, which also commemorates the accession of the late king, with a two-day celebration of fireworks and parades. Labour Day on May 1 and the commemoration of the uprising of 2011 complete the public calendar. Bahrain's small size means national celebrations are intimate community affairs.
In May 2026 there are 4 public holidays: Labor Day, Eid al-Adha (estimated), Eid al-Adha (estimated), Eid al-Adha (estimated). In 2026, Bahrain observes 14 public holidays including 14 national, of which 2 fall on a weekend.
