About public holidays in Cuba

One marked Some regions applies only to part of it, for example a state or province. Where the official name is different from the English one, the local name appears under it.
Moveable holidays, such as the ones counted from Easter, change their date from year to year, so it is worth checking the table each year before you plan. Our main time zone for Cuba is America/Havana, which is what the live countdown and the "is today a holiday" pages use.
