Public Holidays

Public holidays in Norway 2021-2025

The Norwegians celebrate the festivals common in Christian countries. Easter and Christmas are the most important festivals there, on which most of the other legal holidays orient themselves. Although Norway actually reaches further north than Finland, Midsummer is not a legal holiday here. Nevertheless, this custom is well known and most shops are closed. The Norwegians do not celebrate it like the Finns on Saturday after Midsummer Day, but always on John the Baptist's birthday - or rather the night before, i.e. on the night from 23 to 24 June. This night was given the name St. John's Eve.
