What makes the New Zealand calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the New Zealand signature lives in the other dates: Waitangi Day (Waitangi Day, 6 febbraio), found in no other country in the dataset; Matariki (Matariki, 10 luglio), found in no other country in the dataset; Day after New Year's Day (Day after New Year's Day, 2 gennaio), shared with a single other country. The longest dry spell of the year runs from Matariki (10 luglio) to Labour Day (26 ottobre): 108 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 11 nationwide holidays and Waitangi Day will fall on a lunedì (8 febbraio).
