Public Holidays

Question
I need to find out the public holidays that are observed in Ghana.

Answer

New Year's Day - 1 January -
Constitution Day - 7th January
Independence Day - 6 March
Good Friday - 10 April
Easter Monday - 13 April
May Day (Workers' Day) - 1st May
Eid-Ul-Fitr (se note)
Eid-Ul-Adha (see note)
Founders' Day - 4 August
Kwame Nkrumah Memorial Day - 21 September
Farmer's Day - 4 December
Christmas Day - 25 December
Boxing Day - 26 December

Notes
There are no fixed dates for the Eid-Ul-Fitr and Eid-Ul-Adha because they are movable feasts. The dates for their observation are provided by the Office of the Chief Imam in the course of the year.

Public holidays which fall in the weekend are usually shifted to the next working day
