Governing Law: Public holidays in Angola are currently regulated by Law 1/01 of March 23, 2001, which had itself amended Law 16/96 of September 27, 1996. Additional amendments have since been decreed to increase the original list, the most recent of which, Ley núm. 7/03 relativa a los feriados nacionales, was published in the Diário da República, 2003-03-21, núm. 22, págs. 461-462. • Non-Working Periods: Article 3 of the aforementioned law of 2003 (Suspensão da actividade laboral) specifies that public holidays are non-working days, as well as the afternoon of December 24. Since 2003, the afternoon of December 31 has also made its was into the list of non-working days. • Dates may be subject to change depending on proximity to a weekend. The government has also been known to declare national holidays, public holidays or celebrations with very short notice. • Weekend Public Holidays Public holidays that fall on weekly day of rest (as defined by) are moved to the next working day (quando um feriado coincide com um dia de descanso semanal deve ser transferido para o dia útil imediatamente a seguir). • Bridge Holidays and Days in Lieu: Article 7 of the aforementioned law of 2003 defines as "Pontes" (bridges) the public holidays given on a Monday, when a public holiday falls on a Sunday. The use of the term "bridges" is misleading as what it describes is more akin to what is elsewhere called "days in lieu". • Martyrs' Day: Angola's parliament voted, in mid-1996, to include the anniversary date of the January 4, 1961, killing of cotton plantations workers by the Portuguese Armed Forces, as "Colonial Repression Martyrs Day". • Court Holidays: Note that Court holidays run between 23 December and the last day of February. Also applies to the Public Ministry. • Angola International Codes AO and AGO (2 and 3-letter ISO3166 codes) and .ao (ICANN national top-level internet domain). • Other Sources of Information The following specialized websites are also a good source of Angola information and news: UnitedHealthcare Global (security-related world events: terrorist threats, political strife, strikes, criminal activity, aviation incidents and health outbreaks), CIA World Factbook (Angola maps, demographics and economic statistics), the IFES (information covering upcoming elections, referenda, electoral structures and voter participation in Angola), and Wikipedia (includes Angola commemorative dates that are not necessarily public holidays).

Observance : Any entry in the Observance column indicates that, in Angola, 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.
