Bavaria Public Holidays 2026 (Statewide Bayern Calendar)
Official 2026 public holidays in Bavaria (Bayern): Epiphany (Jan 6), Corpus Christi (Jun 4), All Saints' Day (Nov 1), Mariä Himmelfahrt municipal rules, ICS export & working days.
Bavarian Holiday Act (BayFTG) Statewide Scope
Under the Bavarian Holiday Act (BayFTG), 12 statutory public holidays apply across the entire state of Bavaria in 2026, including Epiphany / Heilige Drei Könige (Tuesday, January 6), Corpus Christi / Fronleichnam (Thursday, June 4), and All Saints' Day / Allerheiligen (Sunday, November 1).
Assumption Day (Mariä Himmelfahrt on Saturday, August 15, 2026, observed in ~1,700 predominantly Catholic municipalities including Munich) and the Augsburg Peace Festival (Saturday, August 8, 2026, city of Augsburg only) are local rather than statewide holidays, so this statewide calendar keeps the 12 universal Bavarian dates consistent across table and ICS export.
