Eswatini's government has announced the date when the upcoming non-working public holiday in Eswatini for the 2019 Umhlanga (aka. Reed Dance) would be observed.

Today's announcement of the date of the upcoming non-working public holiday in Eswatini for the 2019 Umhlanga (aka. Reed Dance), as was the case last year (2018-07-10), is much earlier than most years when the date of the Umhlanga was announced at the last minute (2017-08-18, 2016-08-10, 2015-08-13, 2014-08-06, 2010-08-12, 2009-08-29, 2009-08-15, 2008-08-15, 2007-08-28, 2007-08-19) although, on some occasions the date has been announced well in advance (2013-07-23, 2012-07-07, 2011-06-16, 2009-07-29, 2007-07-04).

Note that, in 2018, Swaziland was renamed as Eswatini (2018-03-15).
