What this value means
The fixed holidays (1 Jan, 4 April Independence, Lundi de Pâques, 1 May, Ascension, Lundi de Pentecôte, 15 Aug Assomption, 1 Nov Toussaint, 25 Dec Noël) rest on Loi n° 74-52 of 1974. PROVISIONAL Islamic dates (lunar, confirmed only days ahead by the CONACOC): Korité/Aïd el-Fitr may fall 19–21 March 2026; Tabaski/Aïd el-Kébir 26–27 May; Tamkharit/Achoura ~25 June; Grand Magal de Touba (18 Safar) ~2 Aug; Maouloud/Gamou (Mawlid) 25–26 Aug. Good Friday (Vendredi Saint) is NOT a national public holiday in Senegal (unlike Lundi de Pâques) and is deliberately excluded. Source URL is an aggregator used only for the date calendar; the legal instrument (Loi 74-52) is the authoritative basis. No single free government page publishes the consolidated 2026 dated list.
