                          About Public Holidays in Azerbaijan

                          Azerbaijan's calendar includes Novruz Bayram, the Persian-rooted spring equinox festival, as a multi-day national holiday in late March with bonfires, street festivities, and family gatherings. Republic Day (May 28) marks the short-lived 1918 Azerbaijan Democratic Republic, while Independence Day (October 18) marks the 1991 break from the Soviet Union - two distinct dates commemorating two separate periods of statehood.

                          Frequently Asked Questions

                          How many public holidays are there in Azerbaijan?

                          Azerbaijan has 21 public holidays in 2027, 8 more than the global average of 13.

                          Which Azerbaijan public holidays fall on a weekend in 2027?

                          4 public holidays fall on a weekend in Azerbaijan in 2027: New Year's Day (Saturday, January 2), Spring Festival (Saturday, March 20), Day of Victory over Fascism (Sunday, May 9), Azerbaijan Armed Forces Day (Saturday, June 26). Azerbaijan substitutes some of these with a working day but not others.

                          Does Azerbaijan give a day off when a holiday falls on a weekend?

                          It depends — Azerbaijan moves some public holidays that fall on a weekend to the next working day, but not all of them.

                          What is the longest break possible in Azerbaijan in 2027?

                          9 consecutive days off in Azerbaijan in 2027, March 6–March 14, by booking 2 days of leave.

                          When is the next public holiday in Azerbaijan?

                          The next public holiday in Azerbaijan is Dövlət Müstəqilliyi günü (Independence Day) on October 18, 2026.

                          Which holidays in Azerbaijan change date each year?

                          End of Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr), Feast of the Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha) do not fall on the same date every year in Azerbaijan, since they are set by a lunar or other variable calendar rather than a fixed date.
