About Public Holidays in Eswatini
Eswatini, Africa's last absolute monarchy, celebrates a holiday calendar centred on its royal traditions and Christian faith. The country's most famous event is the Umhlanga reed dance in late August, where tens of thousands of young women dance before the king, and the Incwala ceremony in December — the first fruits festival — is the nation's most sacred occasion. Independence Day on September 6 and the king's birthday in April are national celebrations, while Christmas, Easter and the New Year anchor the Christian year.
In 2024, Eswatini observes 11 public holidays including 11 national, of which 0 fall on a weekend.
