# Set up and manage public holidays in Calendar Pro

Public holidays add the official non-working days for a country or region to your shared calendar, so everyone in the channel sees the same days off. This page shows you how to turn on public holidays, pick a country or region, and change the selection later.

Public holidays are part of personalized views (business days and public holidays), available on Premium and Platinum.
The public holiday set follows the calendar time zone and region. Changing the time zone updates the holidays to match.

# Common questions

# Do public holidays apply to everyone using the calendar?

Yes. Once configured, public holidays are displayed for everyone using that calendar.

# Can I add custom holidays that are not in the predefined list?

Only the predefined country or region holiday sets are available. To mark extra days, such as company holidays, create an all-day event manually.

# If I change the country, will it remove my previously selected holidays?

Yes. Switching the country or region replaces the old holiday set with the new one.

# Can I display more than one country at a time?

No. Only one country or region holiday set can be active in a calendar at a time. If your team spans several regions, you can create all-day events for the extra holidays, or duplicate the calendar for each region.

# Do public holidays update each year?

Yes. Holiday lists are maintained and refresh automatically every year. No manual update is needed.
