2026 Russia Calendar & Holidays
Russia observes 13 public holidays in 2026. These holidays include national celebrations, religious observances, and important commemorative days that are significant to the culture and history of Russia. Public holidays typically mean government offices, banks, and many businesses are closed.
Understanding Russia Holidays
Public Holidays
Public holidays in Russia are days when most workers are entitled to a day off with pay. Government offices, schools, and many businesses close on these days.
Bank Holidays
Bank holidays are days when financial institutions are closed. While similar to public holidays, not all workers may have the day off.
Observances
Observances are notable days that are not official public holidays. Businesses and schools typically remain open on these days.
Regional Holidays
Some holidays may only be observed in certain regions or states within Russia. Check local regulations for specific regional holidays.
Planning Around Russia Holidays in 2026

Consider booking accommodations and transportation in advance around major holidays, as these are popular times for domestic travel and celebrations.
