Planning around Lithuania's public holidays? This page tracks Lithuania's national holiday calendar live, showing both recently observed dates and what's coming up next. Lithuania observes 1 official public holidays mandated by national law (including Lietuvos valstybės atkūrimo diena (Restoration of the State Day)). Some holidays fall on a fixed calendar date every year — an Independence or Republic Day, for instance. Others, governed by the Easter calculation, the Islamic lunar calendar, or an "nth weekday of the month" rule, shift from year to year, so each year carries its own actual date rather than an assumed repeat. Jump straight to the live calendar below, or read on for how the dates are worked out.

Public holidays generally split into two kinds: fixed-date ones that land on the same calendar day every year — a founding or independence anniversary, for instance — and movable ones whose date shifts annually because they follow a different calendar system entirely. Lithuania's calendar can include holidays governed by the centuries-old Easter calculation, the Islamic Hijri lunar calendar that sets the date for Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, or a lunisolar calendar of the kind behind Lunar New Year. Lithuania, like much of Europe, likely carries at least one holiday from each category on its calendar — one reason the list above shows a specific date per year instead of a single recurring one.
Under Lithuania's labor law, fixed-date national public holidays carry mandatory non-working status for public administration, financial institutions, and commercial enterprises — 1 such holiday is documented for Lithuania in the table above, currently sourced from Lithuania's official government portal, pending independent confirmation, including Lietuvos valstybės atkūrimo diena (Restoration of the State Day) on February 16. Official gazette announcements are published by government authorities to confirm these mandated closures.
It's also worth distinguishing a public holiday from an observance. A public holiday is a government-mandated day off — offices, banks and schools close. An observance marks something culturally or religiously significant without requiring anyone to close for it. This page tracks public holidays only, since those are the dates that actually change a day's schedule.
Lithuania is also divided into states and provinces, and countries structured this way often layer a regional founding day, a local patron festival or a province-specific holiday on top of the national calendar — observed in one state but not nationwide. The calendar above covers Lithuania's national holidays; see the Lithuania states & provinces directory for population and government data on each one.
