About these dates
These dates come from the date-holidays library and have not been checked by hand against Suriname's official calendar. Check before you book.
Some days here follow a calendar other than the Gregorian one, such as Chinese New Year, End of Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr), Feast of the Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha). Those dates are calculated rather than announced, so the real day can fall a day either side of what is shown. Check them against an official calendar before you book around one.
These dates come straight from the holiday library and have not been checked against this country’s official calendar by hand. Treat them as a starting point.
