                          About Public Holidays in Senegal

                          Senegal's Independence Day (April 4, 1960, from France) sits alongside a calendar shaped by its overwhelmingly Muslim population - Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, and Grand Magal de Touba (a major Sufi pilgrimage observance, dated by the Islamic calendar) bring the country's largest closures and travel movements.
