Holidays in Albania 2024 (national and unofficial)
In this publication, All-Holidays.Info will talk about Albanian holidays in 2024. We will list all national public holidays in Albania 2024. We will also list the main unofficial holidays. In addition to the official dates, we will indicate the days to which they are postponed.
Holidays in Albania can be divided into two main types: national and unofficial. National holidays are established by law, there are 14 of them in total. There are many more unofficial holidays, but we have listed the most significant ones. These include both secular and religious holidays.
Postponement of holidays
In Albania, if a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, it is transferred to the next working day. This was the case in 2023. Then both days of the New Year celebration fell on Saturday and Sunday. They were rescheduled for Monday. Thus, two holidays were combined. Residents of the country were on vacation from January 1 to January 3, 2023.
INTERESTING FACT! Easter Monday is not a national holiday in Albania. But this day is an official non-working day. This is because Easter Sunday is a national Albanian holiday. According to the law, it is always postponed to Monday.
