About Public Holidays in Burundi
Burundi's holidays blend national memory, Christian faith and the legacy of its monarchical past. Independence Day on July 1 marks the 1962 break from Belgium, and the country observes Christmas, Easter, the Assumption and All Saints' Day with Catholic devotion. The traditional drummers of the royal court — the world-famous Burundi drums — perform at national celebrations, and the country's Unity Day in February and the anniversary of the republic in November complete the civic calendar.
In October 2024 there are 3 public holidays: Commemoration of the Assassination of National Hero, Prince Louis Rwagasore, Commemoration of the Assassination of National Hero, Prince Louis Rwagasore (observed), Commemoration of the Assassination of President Melchior Ndadaye. In 2024, Burundi observes 16 public holidays including 16 national, of which 4 fall on a weekend.
