Governing Law: Official public holidays in Madagascar are regulated by the Décret 62-150 du 28 mars 1962 Déterminant les modalités d'application du repos hebdomadaire, des jours fériés chômés et des jours fériés chômés et payés whose article 22 lists the official public holidays of Madagascar, and whose Article 28 addresses (partially) the issues stemming from public holidays that fall on a weekend. • Annual Decrees: After consultations with the Conseil National de l'Emploi, the list of annual public holidays in Madagascar is confirmed or modified annually by a government decree, usually published in January, such as the décret n°2011-012 du ministère de la Fonction publique, du travail et des lois sociales. • International Women's Day was made a partial public holiday, for women only, by decree 99-145 of February 25, 1999. • Martyrs' Day was made a partial public holiday, pursuant to decree 66-035 of December 19, 1966. • June 26: The public holiday on that date is often referred to as Madagascar's National Day (Fetim-pirenena), for lack of a clearly selected National Day, but that is not really correct. • Madagascar International Codes MG and MDG (2 and 3-letter ISO3166 codes) and .mg (ICANN national top-level internet domain). • Other Sources of Information The following specialized websites are also a good source of Madagascar information and news: Central Bank of Madagascar (Madagascar central bank), UnitedHealthcare Global (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (Madagascar maps, demographics and economic statistics), the IFES (information covering upcoming elections, referenda, electoral structures and voter participation in Madagascar), and Wikipedia (includes Madagascar commemorative dates that are not necessarily public holidays).

Observance : Any entry in the Observance column indicates that, in Madagascar, the holiday may be regional or non-official or limited to certain religious and/or linguistic groups, or begin at a time other than midnight. Note that religious holidays are included only if they are national public holidays, or if the national labour code has specific holiday allowances for employees of specific religions.

Religious Holidays : Public holidays in Madagascar that are based on certain religious calendars may be subject to local variations due to differing interpretations between different religious authorities, or to seemingly arbitrary changes in the date a holiday is celebrated because it conflicts with another holiday that is based on another calendar, or because the day of the holiday is deemed inauspicious (bad luck). To find out more about these uncertainties, see the footnote below, if any, for each specific religion.

Muslim Holidays : Muslim bank holidays, legal holidays and public holidays for Madagascar were evaluated using the Umm al-Qura Calendar of Saudi Arabia which is used in Saudi Arabia and in most of the Persian Gulf States. Holidays may occur a day later in countries outside the Gulf region. The sunrises, sunsets, moon phases, moonrises and moonsets used in these calculations are based on the location of Mecca (latitude 21.42°N, longitude, 39.82°E, GMT+3 hours, no summer time rules).
