About this calendar

Kenya Public Holidays tracks the official public holidays observed across Kenya, bringing together national days and major Christian and Islamic observances that shape the country's working calendar. The bundled events show a schedule anchored by civic dates such as Madaraka Day, Moi Day, Mashujaa Day, and Jamhuri Day, alongside Easter and Eid observances that can shift from year to year. That combination makes the feed a practical record of Kenya's public timetable rather than a narrow list of fixed civil anniversaries. Entries appear as single-day observances rather than timed appointments, which suits a holidays feed used for closures and long-range planning. The feed includes New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, Labour Day, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Madaraka Day, Moi Day, Mashujaa Day, Jamhuri Day, Christmas Day, and Boxing Day. The mixture matters because Kenya's holiday pattern is shaped by both state commemoration and religious observance, with some dates tied to the lunar calendar and others fixed to the civic year. For employers, schools, traders, transport planners, and media desks, that creates a calendar where the practical question is not only which holidays exist, but how they are distributed across the year and how they affect normal working patterns. The presence of both Boxing Day and the independence-era national observances also makes the year-end and state-commemoration cycle easier to follow across business and public administration. This Smart Calendar Feed is free to subscribe in Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook. It keeps Kenya's holiday schedule visible beside leave plans, meetings, school terms, and travel arrangements without manual copying. That is useful when a public holiday creates a long weekend, coincides with a religious period, or affects the timing of business and government activity. The calendar updates regularly so adjustments, substitutions, and other official changes appear automatically, keeping the Kenyan holiday list aligned with the observed public schedule.
