How to add public holidays to your calendar

Holiday labels are one toggle away. The generator knows the public holidays of 70 countries, marks their dates, and — where a holiday lands on a weekend — labels the observed substitute day too.

How to add public holidays to your calendar sections

A monthly calendar with holiday names shown under their dates

Show holidays

  1. Open the Layout tab.
  2. Tick Show public holidays.
  3. Open the Holiday country picker just below and search for your country — the list is searchable and shows flags.
  4. The calendar labels each holiday on its date. Holidays appear on the Monthly format, where the day cells have room for text.

How holiday labels look

  • Holiday text follows the design's Frame content style, so it always matches the calendar's typography.
  • Designs that mark holidays in a special color exist — the Classic set draws Sundays and holidays in red, for example.
  • When a holiday falls on a weekend, many countries observe it on the next Monday (or another substitute day). The observed date gets its own labeled entry so the printout matches what people actually get off.

Tips

  • Printing for a mixed audience? Generate one calendar per country — the rest of the setup stays identical, only the labels change.
  • Pair holidays with a notes area to build a complete family command-center page.

Mini-FAQ

Why don't I see holiday labels on the Yearly format?
Yearly and other compact formats don't have room for holiday names; switch to Monthly for the labeled view.
