About New Year's Day

New Year’s Day is the first day of the year in the Gregorian calendar, and a public holiday in most countries.

In 2027 it falls on a Friday; in 2028 it’s on Saturday 1 January, and in 2029 on Monday 1 January. Because it’s a Friday this time, wherever it’s a day off it makes a long weekend of at least three days. Also in January 2027: Haitian Independence Day (1 Jan), Flag Day (Lithuania) (1 Jan) and Liberation Day (Cuba) (1 Jan). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.

How we work out the date
It’s on 1 January every year.
