About Public Holidays in Rwanda
Rwanda, the 'land of a thousand hills', celebrates a holiday calendar shaped by its liberation history and its remarkable post-1994 reconciliation. Liberation Day on July 4, which also marks the end of the genocide, is the country's most important national day, and the hundred days of mourning from April 7 to July 4 give the year a distinctive solemn rhythm. Independence Day on July 1 and National Heroes' Day on February 1 complete the civic calendar, while Christmas, Easter and the Assumption anchor the deeply Catholic nation's religious year.
In 2027, Rwanda observes 21 public holidays including 21 national, of which 7 fall on a weekend.
