About Jamhuri Day

Jamhuri Day is the national day of Kenya. It marks independence in 1963 and the republic in 1964.

In 2026 it falls on a Saturday; in 2027 it’s on Sunday 12 December, and in 2028 on Tuesday 12 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 Mountain Day (11 Dec), Geminid meteor shower (13 Dec) and St Lucia’s Day (13 Dec). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.
