What makes the Austria calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the Austria signature lives in the other dates: Staatsfeiertag (National Holiday, 1 mai), present in only 5 countries; Nationalfeiertag (National Holiday, 26 octobre), present in only 5 countries; Mariä Empfängnis (Immaculate Conception, 8 décembre), present in only 13 countries. The longest dry spell of the year runs from Heilige Drei Könige (6 janvier) to Ostersonntag (5 avril): 89 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 15 nationwide holidays and Staatsfeiertag will fall on a samedi (1 mai).
