Understanding Turkey public holidays
TR list from the Nager Public Holidays API, with a country note on regional and legal limits—read before you rely on a single row.
Türkiye’s calendar mixes fixed civil holidays with religious days that the state may observe on a published civil date for the year. The TR feed in Nager Public Holidays (date.nager.at) for the selected country code reflects the API’s civil dates for the selected year, not a manual moon sighting. If a religious observance in your life follows local mosque or family tradition on a different civil day, defer to that authority, not a foreign API summary.
National and regional security-related closures, curfews, and election “dry days” on alcohol are not public holiday rows here; they are outside this data model.
Common questions (TR)
If Bayram looks one day off from my app, which is right?
Civil date assignment for Eid and similar can vary with national astronomy committees and the year. Use this page for orientation; use a Turkish state or religious calendar for worship or notarial timing that cannot move.
