About local holidays
Denmark observes nine public holidays. Store Bededag ("Great Prayer Day," 4th Friday after Easter) was abolished in 2024 by the government to fund defence — a controversial move. Constitution Day (June 5) isn't an official holiday but many businesses close in the afternoon. Sankt Hans on June 23 is celebrated with bonfires. Christmas (Juleaften, Dec 24 evening — the main family meal) and Boxing Day close the year.
