Public Holidays in Faroe Islands

Nýggjársdagur

New Year’s Day in the Faroe Islands is quiet and family‑focused after fireworks and celebrations in the night. Many people spend the day at home with warm meals and time indoors.

Skírhósdagur

14 Apr 2022

Maundy Thursday marks the start of the Easter period. Church services are common, and daily life becomes noticeably calmer.

Langifríggjadagur

15 Apr 2022

Good Friday is a solemn day of reflection and worship. Most businesses close, and the islands take on a peaceful, quiet rhythm.
