The Zambian calendar
Public holidays and the dates the country stops for, in one place. This is the same list the banner across the top of the site reads from, so the two cannot drift apart.
Days marked with a solid colour are gazetted. A day drawn as an outline is announced but not yet confirmed — we would rather show you the difference than pick one and be wrong. Where a holiday falls on a Sunday it is observed on the Monday, and the list below says so.
