Public holidays, for every country your team works in

Why a multi-country holiday view matters for distributed teams

If your engineers are in Bengaluru, your designers in Berlin, and your sales team in São Paulo, "the holidays" is not one list, it is three overlapping ones. India observes Republic Day on 26 January, Germany does not. Germany closes for Whit Monday, India does not. Brazil shuts down for Carnival, neither of the others do. A launch you schedule for a date that looks empty on your own calendar can quietly land on a day a third of your team is unreachable.

ClockOrbit publishes each country's official public holidays and, more usefully, a subscribable calendar feed. Instead of copying dates into a spreadsheet once a year, you subscribe once and the feed updates itself when a government changes a date, which happens more often than you would expect. Japan shuffles holidays around Olympic years; the United Kingdom adds one-off bank holidays for royal events; many countries shift an observance to the nearest Monday when it falls on a weekend.

How to subscribe to a country's holidays

1. Open the country you want from the directory above.
2. Copy its .ics subscription link (every country page has one near the top of its holiday list).
3. In Google Calendar choose Other calendars → From URL; in Apple Calendar choose File → New Calendar Subscription; in Outlook choose Add calendar → Subscribe from web. Paste the link.
4. The holidays appear as an overlay you can toggle on and off, separate from your own events. Repeat for each country your team spans.

Where the dates come from

Holiday dates are sourced from the open Nager.Date public-holiday dataset (CC-BY 4.0), with the 20 highest-traffic countries cached for instant loads and verified against official government calendars. Religious and movable feasts (Easter, Eid, Diwali, Lunar New Year) are computed with the same astronomical and calendrical engines that power ClockOrbit's Easter date and Lunar New Year tools.
