What makes the Belgium calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the Belgium signature lives in the other dates: Nationale feestdag (Belgian National Day, 21 Temmuz), found in no other country in the dataset. The longest dry spell of the year runs from Nieuwjaar (1 Ocak) to Pasen (5 Nisan): 94 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 11 nationwide holidays and Nationale feestdag will fall on a Çarşamba (21 Temmuz).
