Public holidays in Finland 2022-2026

Easter and Christmas are the lynchpin of most holidays, even in predominantly Christian Finland.

As in most other northern countries, there is a special feature here, in contrast to more southern countries: the Midsummer Festival. It is celebrated on the respective Saturday of the summer solstice.
