Belgium public holidays 2025

The calendar above is already set to Belgium holidays for 2025, ready to download as a PDF. Below is the full list, the weekday each holiday falls on, and the long weekends they create.
How holidays work in Belgium
- Belgium has ten public holidays, and a rule that protects them: when one falls at a weekend, the employer must grant a replacement day, chosen by agreement — often bridging to a long weekend.
- Regional celebration days exist (the communities each have their own feast day) but are not general public holidays; the ten national dates are what binds.
- Ascension always creates a Thursday holiday, and the Friday after is Belgium’s most common bridge day.
All 14 public holidays
| Date | Day | Holiday |
|---|---|---|
| January 1 | Wednesday | New Year's Day |
| April 18 | Friday | Good Friday |
| April 20 | Sunday | Easter Sunday |
| April 21 | Monday | Easter Monday |
| May 1 | Thursday | Labour Day |
| May 29 | Thursday | Ascension Day |
| May 30 | Friday | Day after Ascension Day |
| June 9 | Monday | Whit Monday |
| July 21 | Monday | Belgian National Day |
| August 15 | Friday | Assumption Day |
| November 1 | Saturday | All Saints' Day |
| November 11 | Tuesday | Armistice Day |
| December 25 | Thursday | Christmas Day |
| December 26 | Friday | St. Stephen's Day |
These are the dates as officially observed. Where a country moves a day off because the holiday itself falls at a weekend, the moved date is the one shown, which is why a date here can differ from the traditional one.
Long weekends in 2025
Stretches of three or more days off in a row, counting weekends and nationwide public holidays together. Holidays that apply only to some regions are left out, since they would not give most people the day off.
