About Public Holidays in Niger
Niger, one of the world's hottest countries, celebrates a holiday calendar reflecting its Muslim-majority faith and its Saharan culture. The two Eids and the Prophet's birthday follow the Islamic calendar, while Independence Day on August 3 marks the 1960 break from France. The country's Republic Day on December 18 and the Constitution Day complete the civic calendar, and the traditional Cure Salée festival — when the Wodaabe and Tuareg peoples gather at the salt pastures — is among the most beautiful gatherings in the Sahara.
In January 2026 there is 1 public holiday: New Year's Day. In 2026, Niger observes 15 public holidays including 15 national, of which 1 falls on a weekend.
