About Public Holidays in Gabon
Gabon celebrates a holiday calendar reflecting its French colonial heritage and its oil-rich modernity. Independence Day on August 17 marks the 1960 break from France, and the country observes Christmas, Easter, Good Friday and the Assumption with Catholic devotion. The country's extraordinary biodiversity gives its cultural year a unique flavour — the traditional Bwiti ceremonies of the Fang people are among the most distinctive religious traditions in Central Africa — and the Renovation Day in March commemorates the country's modern era.
In January 2026 there is 1 public holiday: New Year's Day. In 2026, Gabon observes 16 public holidays including 16 national, of which 6 fall on a weekend.
