These are not observed nationwide. Confirm the specific region before assuming someone is working.

Where else these dates apply

The same calendar is observed in Aland Islands. It keeps the Finland public holiday schedule, so the dates below apply there too. Local observances can still be added on top, so confirm anything that falls close to a deadline.

How to use this

A public holiday does not always mean nobody is working, and a clear calendar does not mean your colleague is free. Treat these dates as a prompt to ask rather than an answer — especially the ones marked as set by moon sighting, where the final date is confirmed only days ahead.
