Visits to any locations, venues or special events held on these dates can be listed in your travel plans to coincide with your tour.
Further down the page there is a list of links to New Zealand holidays dates for this year and future years.
At these national holiday dates there will be all kinds of local and national events. Keep it in mind that the population of New Zealand will also be on holiday at the same time.
Remember that a lot of shops, garages, and other places you would normally expect to be open for business may well be closed on some of these public holiday days.
Competition for accommodation and travel is high during New Zealand national holidays so be sure to book well in advance. Most popular seasons for Kiwi holidays.
Current and Future Years
All the public holiday information is listed on this page.

Some of the public holidays are officially taken as the following working day if the vacation date falls on a weekend day. This is in place so that working New Zealanders do not miss having a day off work that they are entitled to have for the bank holiday and from 2014 also includes Waitangi and ANZAC Days. For example, if the holiday falls on a Sunday, Monday will normally be taken as the holiday day. Or, if the Monday happens to be another holiday date such as Boxing Day, the Tuesday will be taken for Christmas Day. It can be quite confusing in some years but the links above take you to pages that give exact days of vacations in NZ.
It is therefore advisable to check the dates of public holiday events in advance of travel to ensure you know the exact date of the event. The venue of any event will be able to advise you of any day changes for any particular year according to the national or bank holiday. You don't want to arrive a day early or a day late!
