Public Holidays in Greenland

Ukiortaaq

1 Jan 2024

New Year's Day in Greenland is quiet and reflective after late-night celebrations. Communities slow down as people recover from fireworks and gatherings, often spending the day at home with family. Some cafes and local services may operate for limited hours, especially in larger towns.

This is a public holiday in Greenland.

28 Mar 2024

Maundy Thursday marks the beginning of the Easter period and has strong religious significance in Greenland’s Lutheran tradition. Church services are central to the day, and public life becomes noticeably calmer.
