About Public Holidays in Sénégal
Senegal, the westernmost country of Africa, celebrates a holiday calendar shaped by its Sufi Islamic culture, its French heritage and its deep-rooted traditions. The two Eids and the Prophet's birthday follow the Islamic calendar, while the great Magal of Touba — the annual pilgrimage honouring the Mouride saint Amadou Bamba — draws millions despite not being an official holiday. Independence Day on April 4 marks the 1960 break from France, and the country's celebrated sabar drumming and wrestling traditions colour every national celebration.
In March 2026 there is 1 public holiday: Eid al-Fitr (estimated). In 2026, Senegal observes 14 public holidays including 14 national, of which 4 fall on a weekend.
