Background Information |

Weekend Public Holidays: Most public holidays falling on a weekend are moved to the next Monday.
Separation Day: Many online sources refer to the December 19 public holiday as National Heroes and Heroines Day, but this is incorrect; we received confirmation from Anguilla's Labour Commissioner that the name had not changed and is still Separation Day.
Anguilla International Codes AI and AIA (2 and 3-letter ISO3166 codes) and .ai (ICANN national top-level internet domain). • Other Sources of Information The following specialized websites are also a good source of Anguilla information and news: Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (Anguilla central bank), ASI Hot Spots (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (Anguilla maps, demographics and economic statistics), the IFES (information covering upcoming elections, referenda, electoral structures and voter participation in Anguilla), and Wikipedia (includes Anguilla commemorative dates that are not necessarily public holidays). |
