Good to know
- Dates worked out from the date-holidays rules, version 3.37.0, and checked day by day against Nager.Date’s for 2026 to 2028.
- 2020 wasn’t among the years checked; its dates follow the same rules.
- Holidays kept only in some regions of Portugal aren’t listed here: date-holidays and Nager.Date disagree on where they apply.
- A holiday declared at short notice, for an event or an election, may be missing.
