Here's the live public holiday calendar for Cuba — recently observed dates plus upcoming ones, kept current automatically rather than a fixed yearly list. Cuba observes 2 official public holidays mandated by national law (including Triunfo de la Revolución, Día de la Rebeldía Nacional). Not every holiday lands on the same date annually — fixed-date national days repeat exactly, while Easter-based, Islamic-calendar or lunar observances move each year, which the calendar reflects with each year's specific date rather than guessing a repeat. Jump straight to the live calendar below, or read on for how the dates are worked out.
Why This Matters: Public holidays in Cuba directly affect banking hours, courier deliveries and retail operations. This calendar is a standard reference point for remote teams and outsourcing partners coordinating with local offices working with partners, offices or operations in Cuba.

⚠ These entries are sourced from Cuba's official government portal but have not yet been individually cross-checked against a specific confirming page — treat the dates below as a helpful starting point, not a final confirmed record.
| Holiday Name | Date / Observance | Category / Type | Closure Impact | Official Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Triunfo de la Revolución Commemorates the victory of the Cuban Revolution in 1959. | January 1 | National Holiday | Full National Closure | www.presidencia.gob.cu → |
| Día de la Rebeldía Nacional Commemorates the assault on the Moncada Barracks in 1953. | July 26 | National Holiday | Full National Closure | www.presidencia.gob.cu → |
Statutory holidays landing on a Monday, Friday, Tuesday or Thursday create a long-weekend opportunity — here's what's coming up.

| Día de la Rebeldía Nacional | Mon, Jul 26, 2027 | Automatic 3-day weekend |
Not every holiday repeats on the same date each year. Fixed-date holidays — a national or founding day, typically — recur exactly, while a country's movable holidays are governed by a separate calendar system and land on a different date every year. Cuba's calendar can include holidays governed by the Easter computus that many Christian-majority countries use, the Hijri lunar calendar behind Islamic observances such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, or a lunisolar cycle behind holidays like Lunar New Year. As a country in North America, Cuba sits in a region where both kinds of calendar are common — which is exactly why the live calendar above lists each year's actual computed date rather than assuming a repeat.
Under Cuba's labor law, fixed-date national public holidays carry mandatory non-working status for public administration, financial institutions, and commercial enterprises — 2 such holidays are documented for Cuba in the table above, currently sourced from Cuba's official government portal, pending independent confirmation, including Triunfo de la Revolución on January 1. Official gazette announcements are published by government authorities to confirm these mandated closures.
Worth separating, too: a true public holiday is a legally mandated non-working day — banks, schools and government offices close by law or long-standing custom. An observance is different — culturally or religiously notable, but without a mandated closure (Valentine's Day and Earth Day are common examples worldwide). This page focuses specifically on public holidays, the ones that actually affect scheduling.
Cuba isn't divided into separate states or provinces the way some larger federated nations are, so its public holiday calendar applies uniformly nationwide — the dates shown above hold the same way across the whole country, without a regional layer to account for.
