List of Holidays

[AnotherHiggins]

Does anyone know of a list of holidays - hopefully available online - that I could 'steal' to use as a table in a database?

1) Which country?
2) Which holidays (different companies observe different holidays)
3) How specific do you want to get?

I once temped at a company that had offices in over a dozen different countries. Here's a website that I found useful:

http://www.timeanddate.com/

The calendar section lists holidays. Lists most of them, so it would take a little leg work, but not much.

Here is a sight that may work (I have not verified accuracy)

http://www.merlyn.demon.co.uk/holidays.htm#NA

or if you are looking for US federal holidays you could try

http://www.opm.gov/fedhol/

Right, sorry - U.S. only.

I definitely need the Federal holidays. Throwing in the big religious ones as well is probably a good idea.

I'll take a look at the two links provided so far. Thanks for the help!

There are some clever algorythms out there to calculate the dates of the big holidays. This site seems to hit them all:

but google on calculate holidays gets plenty of hits.
