Other dates worth booking
Suriname's calendar reflects one of the most ethnically diverse populations in the Western Hemisphere: Holi Phagwa (the Hindu spring festival), Eid al-Fitr, and Chinese New Year are all nationally recognized alongside Christian holidays, a legacy of the indentured labor migration from India, Indonesia, and China during the colonial period.

Chinese New Year, Good Friday, Easter Monday, End of Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr), Feast of the Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha), Holi Phagwa, Deepavali do not fall on the same date every year in Suriname, since they are set by a lunar or other variable calendar rather than a fixed date.
