                          About Public Holidays in Cook Islands

                          The Cook Islands, self-governing in free association with New Zealand, mark Constitution Day (August 4) commemorating 1965 self-government, distinct from any break with New Zealand itself since the relationship continues today. Gospel Day, celebrated on different dates across different islands, commemorates the 1821 arrival of Christian missionaries and is one of the few holidays observed with island-specific dates.
