2028 at a glance
- New Year's Day falls on Saturday 1 January and is not moved; New Year Holiday falls on Sunday 2 January and is not moved; Statehood Day falls on Sunday 25 June and is not moved, because Slovenia has no statutory substitute days.
- All 2028 dates are provisional – calculated from the rule, because official dates are published only through 2027.
- In 2028, public holidays fall on 10 weekdays in Slovenia, four more than in 2027.
Slovenia has no statutory substitute days: a public holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday is not moved to a weekday, so the following Monday stays a working day in these counts.

About public holidays in Slovenia
Slovenia has fifteen days off, set by the Holidays and Work-Free Days Act (ZPDPD). The act uses two overlapping ideas, so the length of the list depends on which one you follow. A "state holiday" is a commemorated day, while a "work-free day" is what actually lets employees stay home. This site counts only the work-free days.
Seven entries are both a national holiday and work-free: New Year, which covers both 1 and 2 January, Prešeren Day on 8 February, the Day of Uprising Against the Occupation on 27 April, Labour Day on 1 and 2 May, Statehood Day on 25 June, the Day of Remembrance for the Dead on 1 November and Independence and Unity Day on 26 December. Because New Year and Labour Day each cover two days, those seven entries make nine dates. Six further work-free days are not national holidays at all: Easter Sunday, Easter Monday, Whit Sunday, the Assumption on 15 August, Reformation Day on 31 October and Christmas Day on 25 December. Together they bring the total to fifteen.
Eight state holidays are not work-free and are left out: Primož Trubar Day (8 June), Mount Triglav Day (7 August), the unification of the Prekmurje Slovenes (17 August), the return of Primorska (15 September), Slovenian Sport Day (23 September), Sovereignty Day (25 October), Science Day (10 November) and Rudolf Maister Day (23 November). Anyone who sees 25 October marked on a Slovenian calendar should know it is a day of recognition, not a day off.
In 2026 eight of the fifteen fall on a weekend: 8 February, Easter Sunday, 2 May, Whit Sunday, 15 August, 31 October, 1 November and 26 December. That leaves seven weekday holidays: 1 and 2 January, Easter Monday on 6 April, 27 April, 1 May, 25 June and 25 December.
The official pages read for this text give no rule moving a day off to a weekday, and Slovenian calendars do not move them, so a weekend holiday here is lost as a day off. Easter and Whit Sunday are always on Sundays, which is why they never reduce the working days.
