                          About Public Holidays in Dominica

                          Dominica's Independence Day (November 3) is followed the next day by Community Service Day (November 4), a uniquely Dominican pairing that turns the independence anniversary into a two-day national holiday centered partly on volunteer work rather than only celebration. The World Creole Music Festival, while not itself a statutory holiday, shapes the late-October calendar heavily.
