About Public Holidays in Madagascar
Madagascar, the world's fourth-largest island, celebrates a holiday calendar shaped by its Austronesian, African and French heritage. Independence Day on June 26 marks the 1960 break from France, and the country observes Christmas, Easter, Good Friday and the New Year. The most distinctive tradition is the famadihana — the 'turning of the bones' — when families rewrap and honour their ancestors' remains, a ceremony that continues alongside the official calendar. The country's famous zebu culture colours its festival foods and celebrations.
In May 2024 there are 5 public holidays: Labor Day, Ascension Day, Pentecost, Pentecost Monday, Mother's Day. In 2024, Madagascar observes 16 public holidays including 16 national, of which 4 fall on a weekend.
