Sources used to compile this reference

The following sources and stated calendar rules were reconciled for the 2026 reference. It does not automatically create a future edition or incorporate an unpublished change.

Only full-day entries in the stated geographic scope are exported. A missing date is not a determination that it is a working day.

Additional holidays remain additional dates; the corresponding original day is not silently removed. No recurring rule or later-year edition is generated.

Year-end archives retain their original source scope and provisional labels. For a later year or an amended schedule, use a separately verified publication.
