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 2031, Benin observes 14 public holidays including 14 national, of which 1 falls on a weekend.
