About Finnish Independence Day

Finnish Independence Day is the national day of Finland. It marks the declaration of independence from Russia in 1917.

In 2026 it falls on a Sunday; in 2027 it’s on Monday 6 December, and in 2028 on Wednesday 6 December. This time it falls at the weekend; some countries move the day off to a weekday when that happens. Also in December 2026: International Volunteer Day (5 Dec), World Soil Day (5 Dec) and St Nicholas Day (6 Dec). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.
