Public holidays in the United Kingdom

The Labor Day or May Day holiday will this year be held on Tuesday, May 7.

This decision was announced Monday by Labor Minister Donna Michailidou.

A formal decision is to be issued later Monday.

As Bulgarians step into the new year of 2024, a diverse landscape of workdays and holidays awaits, promising both extended breaks and routine work weeks. With insights into the holiday calendar, Bulgarians can anticipate strategic planning for their time off throughout the year.

It's still December, but many people are already looking at the 2022 calendar and planning around the national holidays next year.

2022 is not a leap year. Of the 365 days, 248 are working days, and 16 are public holidays. These holidays, which coincide with a day off, are offset by a day off in the first days of the following working week.

Greek authorities announced the decision on Monday

The US Embassy in Athens will be closed for the Easter holidays, it said on Thursday.

The embassy will be closed from Friday, April 14, through Monday, April 17. It will open again on Tuesday, April 18. 

There will be no merger of festive days and weekends if a holiday falls on Thursday or Tuesday, lawmakers have decided.

MPs have voted on first reading changes to Bulgaria's Labour Code that abolish the current rules under which Friday or Monday, respectively, is declared a holiday to merge it with a public holiday dated during the workweek.

May Day in Athens will be celebrated with traditional events and music for all ages. Youngsters are invited to make their own May wreaths flooding the area with spring scents and flowers.

At 8 p.m. enjoy a musical event, titled “Songs of May and Spring”.

Events are free and take place at Koliatsou Square and Amerikis Square.
