About Public Holidays in Suriname
Suriname, the most culturally diverse country in South America, celebrates a holiday year that officially honours every major community. Independence Day on November 25 anchors the civic calendar, while religious festivals from multiple faiths are public holidays: Holi Phagwa, Diwali, Eid-ul-Fitr, and both Christian and Jewish traditions. The country's Hindustani, Javanese, Creole, Maroon, Chinese and Indigenous peoples each bring their own celebrations, making Suriname's calendar a remarkable exercise in coexistence. Carnival and the 'Winti' cultural heritage of the Maroons add further layers.
In August 2026 there is 1 public holiday: Indigenous People Day. In 2026, Suriname observes 15 public holidays including 15 national, of which 4 fall on a weekend.
