Calendar 1980 & Moon Phases

About Public Holidays in Mali

Mali, once the seat of the great empires of West Africa, celebrates a holiday calendar rooted in its Muslim-majority faith and its historic culture. The two Eids, the Prophet's birthday and the Islamic New Year follow the lunar calendar, while Independence Day on September 22 marks the 1960 break from France. The country's cultural heritage — the mud architecture of Djenné, the kora music, and the annual Festival au Désert — gives its national celebrations a depth few countries can match, and the Tabaski feast is the year's great family gathering.

In 1980, Mali observes 0 public holidays, of which 0 fall on a weekend.
