About Public Holidays in Mauritius
Mauritius, the Indian Ocean island of remarkable ethnic diversity, celebrates a holiday calendar that formally honours its Hindu, Muslim, Christian and Chinese communities. Thaipoosam Cavadee, Maha Shivaratree — the great pilgrimage to Ganga Talao — and Divali are public holidays alongside Eid-ul-Fitr, Christmas, the Chinese New Year and the Cavadee festival. Independence Day on March 12 anchors the civic calendar, and the country's famous Chinese Spring Festival dragon dances give January a distinctly festive start.
In October 2024 there is 1 public holiday: Diwali. In 2024, Mauritius observes 15 public holidays including 15 national, of which 3 fall on a weekend.
