About Kenya Holidays
Kenya has 10 public holidays in 2026. Madaraka Day (June 1) marks the day Kenya attained internal self-rule in 1963, while Jamhuri Day (December 12) celebrates full independence. Huduma Day (formerly Moi Day) was renamed in 2020. When a holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday is typically observed. Kenya is East Africa's largest economy and a major business hub, so its holiday calendar affects trade across the region. The standard work week is Monday to Friday.
