Tanzania Public Holidays 2027

Complete list of public holidays — nationwide & regional

2025 2026 2027
In 2027, Tanzania marks 16 public holidays that apply across the whole country. This year 7 of them land on a Saturday or Sunday, so only 9 reduce the working week. There are 4 clear "bridge day" opportunities this year — where a public holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, so taking the single adjoining day off turns it into a four-day weekend. The calendar opens with New Year's Day on Friday 1 January and closes with Boxing Day on Sunday 26 December.
