Frequently Asked Questions

Why do some Swedish holidays always fall on a Saturday?

By law, Midsummer Day is the Saturday between 20 and 26 June and All Saints' Day is the Saturday between 31 October and 6 November — in 2026, 20 June and 31 October. The big celebrations actually happen on the eves (Midsummer Eve, Christmas Eve, New Year's Eve), which are de facto days off under most collective agreements even though they are not statutory red days.

Is there a substitute day when a Swedish holiday falls on a weekend?

No. Sweden does not move public holidays or grant replacement days. In 2026, the National Day (6 June) falls on a Saturday and St Stephen's Day (26 December) too; some collective agreements compensate employees when the National Day lands on a weekend.
