                        About Public Holidays in Malta

                        Public holidays in Malta are official observances that may affect government offices, schools, banks, businesses, and public services. These holidays often include national celebrations, religious observances, and important civic dates.

                        This calendar helps residents, travelers, employers, and families plan vacations, work schedules, school breaks, and business closures around official holiday dates.

                        Working Days and Business Closures

                        On major public holidays, many government offices, banks, schools, and private businesses may close or operate with reduced hours. Opening times for shops, restaurants, transport, and local services can vary.

                        Always check with local authorities, employers, or service providers for exact opening hours during public holidays.
