About Public Holidays in Bénin
Benin, the birthplace of Vodun, celebrates a holiday calendar of remarkable cultural depth. The National Vodun Festival on January 10 — the only official Vodun holiday in the world — draws pilgrims and tourists to Ouidah, while the country's Christian minority observes Christmas and Easter and its Muslim community the two Eids. Independence Day on August 1 marks the 1960 break from France, and the traditional Gelede masquerades and the royal ceremonies of Abomey give the year an extraordinary range of celebration.
In May 2029 there are 3 public holidays: Labor Day, Ascension Day, Pentecost Monday. In 2029, Benin observes 14 public holidays including 14 national, of which 0 fall on a weekend.
