What is fixed and what may change
All dates follow from Act No. 241/1993 on state holidays, days off and memorial days, as in force from 29 October 2026. Easter follows the Western calendar: 28 March in 2027.
Since November 2025, three state holidays are normal working days: 1 September, 28 October and 17 November. They are not listed. In 2026, 8 May and 15 September were also working days, but that rule applied to 2026 only. In 2027 both are days off again.
Slovakia does not move holidays that fall on a weekend. In 2027, 1 May, 8 May, 29 August, 25 and 26 December fall on a Saturday or Sunday. Parliament could still change the list for budget reasons, as it did for 2026; we found no such change for 2027.
