📖 How Public Holidays Work in Lithuania

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.

Frequently Asked Questions — Lithuania Public Holidays

What are public holidays in Lithuania?

Public holidays in Lithuania are nationwide days off recognised by the government, when most banks, schools and government offices close and many businesses adjust their hours. They mark historical, cultural, religious or civic occasions and are a standard reference point for corporate travel planners arranging international trips working with Lithuania.


How many public holidays does Lithuania observe each year?

1 fixed-date public holiday is documented for Lithuania in the table above, on top of movable observances shown in the live calendar. The exact total varies year to year — some holidays fall on a fixed date, while Easter-based, Islamic-calendar or other lunar observances shift annually, and some are added by regional decree. See the live calendar above for the current list of upcoming and recently observed dates.


What is the official government source for Lithuania's fixed-date public holidays?

Official public holidays in Lithuania are enacted by national acts of parliament and published via lrv.lt. These non-working days carry legal status for banking, public administration, and employment compliance.


What does Lietuvos valstybės atkūrimo diena (Restoration of the State Day) commemorate in Lithuania?

Commemorates the signing of the Act of Independence of Lithuania in 1918. It falls on February 16 and carries official non-working status in Lithuania — see the statutory holidays table above for its closure impact and official source.


Where does the live holiday calendar for Lithuania come from, and is it accurate?

It's Google's own official "Lithuania" holiday calendar, embedded directly via Google's public calendar integration — Google serves the data straight to your browser in real time, and we don't store, edit or republish any of it ourselves. For the smaller set of fixed-date national holidays we've individually fact-checked, see the statutory holidays table above instead.


Do Lithuania's public holidays fall on the same date every year?

Some do and some don't. Fixed-date holidays repeat on the same calendar day annually, while others follow the Easter calculation, the Islamic lunar calendar, or an "nth weekday of the month" rule — so their date moves from year to year. See how public holidays work above for the full explanation of why, or check the calendar itself for each year's actual date.


What happens when a fixed public holiday falls on a weekend in Lithuania?

When a fixed public holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, many governments designate the following Monday as an official substitute non-working day (often termed an 'observed holiday'). Check Lithuania's official gazette announcements or the live calendar embed for specific year-by-year substitute day designations.


How can I plan a long weekend around public holidays in Lithuania?

The live calendar above shows the day of the week next to each date — that's what you need. A holiday landing on a Monday or Friday already gives Lithuania a natural three-day weekend; one on a Tuesday or Thursday can often be stretched into four days by taking the single working day in between as leave, sometimes called a "bridge day". Once you've spotted a good date, the Lithuania travel guide covers the practical details for planning around it.


Does Lithuania have regional or state-specific holidays too?

Many countries observe additional regional, state or provincial holidays alongside national ones. Lithuania is divided into states and provinces — see the Lithuania states & provinces directory for region-specific pages with more local detail.


Why are some major cultural holidays listed in the live calendar but not in the official holidays table?

The official holidays table above lists fixed-date national public holidays mandated by law. Dynamic, movable observances (such as Eid or Easter) shift calendar dates annually based on lunar or religious computations — those dates are updated continuously in the live Google Calendar embed below.
