Few things feel as satisfying as flipping open a fresh calendar and seeing the whole year laid out — weekends, holidays, and all. That’s especially true for 2025, a year that brings 11 U.S. federal holidays and 10 public holidays in Ireland, each with fixed dates you can plan around.

4What’s next

Five key numbers, one pattern: every fixed-date holiday is anchored by a government source, while movable feasts like Easter require a separate lookup.

Label Value
Total US federal holidays 11
Total Ireland public holidays 10
Easter 2025 date April 20
Thanksgiving 2025 date November 27
St. Patrick’s Day 2025 March 17
The upshot

With 11 US federal holidays and 10 in Ireland, planning around 2025 is straightforward — but only if you know which holidays are truly fixed. The movable ones (Easter) can shift plans if you rely on school or work schedules.

What is the holiday calendar for 2025?

Ireland public holidays 2025

  • New Year’s Day – Jan 1, 2025 (Citizens Information (Irish public service))
  • St. Brigid’s Day – Feb 1, 2025 (Citizens Information)
  • St. Patrick’s Day – Mar 17, 2025 (Citizens Information)
  • Easter Monday – Apr 20, 2025 (Citizens Information)
  • May Day (first Monday in May) – May 5, 2025 (Citizens Information)
  • June Bank Holiday (first Monday in June) – Jun 2, 2025 (Citizens Information)
  • August Bank Holiday (first Monday in August) – Aug 4, 2025 (Citizens Information)
  • October Bank Holiday (last Monday in October) – Oct 27, 2025 (Citizens Information)
  • Christmas Day – Dec 25, 2025 (Citizens Information)
  • St. Stephen’s Day – Dec 26, 2025 (Citizens Information)

Other observances

In addition to the official holidays, 2025 includes widely observed events such as Easter Sunday (Apr 20), Mother’s Day (second Sunday in May), and Father’s Day (third Sunday in June). These are not legal holidays but are common calendar markers. The Homemade Gifts Made Easy calendar (free printable template provider) includes Lunar New Year (Jan 29) and Easter Sunday along with federal holidays.

The implication: a single printable calendar from a template site may mix legal holidays with observances, so cross-check against government sources.

Bottom line: US workers get 11 federal days (12 in the D.C. area). Irish workers get 10 public holidays. The only wiggle room is Easter, which moves each year.

What holidays are in 2025 in Ireland?

Public holidays in Ireland 2025

Listed above, but key detail: St. Brigid’s Day (Feb 1) became a public holiday in 2023, and it’s here to stay in 2025 (Citizens Information).

Bank holidays

In Ireland, the term “bank holiday” is often used interchangeably with public holiday, but technically bank holidays are those when banks close. All 10 public holidays above are also bank holidays. The October Bank Holiday (last Monday) is the only one not tied to a specific date.

Observances

Easter Monday (Apr 20) is a public holiday, but Good Friday (Apr 18) is not a public holiday in Ireland, though many businesses close. Check your employer’s policy.

Why this matters

For Irish workers, the difference between a public holiday and a bank holiday is largely academic — both give you a day off. But the October Bank Holiday is the only one that shifts by year, falling on Oct 27 in 2025.

Where can I find free printable calendars?

Online sources for free printable calendars

The catch: each offers a free download, but not all include Ireland holidays. For Ireland-specific calendars, use timeanddate.com or Citizens Information.

Using timeanddate.com

Timeanddate.com lets you choose a country, add holidays, and generate a PDF you can print. It’s one of the few sites that reliably includes both US and Ireland holidays in a single calendar view.

General Blue

General Blue provides yearly, monthly, and weekly templates in multiple formats. Their 2025 US calendar includes federal holidays by default.

Calendarlabs

Calendarlabs offers a wide range of template designs, but you must manually add holidays. Their templates are more suited for business users who want blank layouts.

How can I print a calendar without downloading it for free?

Printing directly from browser

You don’t need to download a file to print a calendar. Most online calendar sites have a “Print” button that opens your browser’s print dialog. Here’s how:

  1. Open the calendar page (e.g., timeanddate.com or Calendarpedia).
  2. Click the “Print” button or use Ctrl+P (Cmd+P on Mac).
  3. In the print preview, select “Save as PDF” if you want a digital copy, or choose your printer.
  4. Make sure the holiday markers are visible — check the “Background graphics” option in your browser’s print settings.

Using online print function

Some sites like Calendarpedia have a dedicated print button that generates a clean, printer-friendly version without ads.

Steps

  1. Go to a free online calendar site (e.g., timeanddate.com).
  2. Select the year 2025 and your country (US or Ireland).
  3. Toggle the holiday display on.
  4. Click “Print” or “Generate PDF”.
  5. If your browser asks “Save or Print”, choose Print.
  6. Adjust margins and orientation (landscape works best for year calendars).
  7. Print or save as PDF.
The catch

Printing from a browser often strips background colors or holiday highlights. To preserve them, check “Print background graphics” in your browser’s print settings. Otherwise, your holiday markers might disappear.

How to check holidays on calendar?

Checking holidays on printed calendar

  • Look for highlighted dates – most printable calendars mark holidays in bold, red, or with a special icon.
  • Use the legend or key – many calendars include a small box explaining symbols (e.g., star = federal holiday).
  • Check the top or bottom of the page – some calendars list all holidays in a separate box.

Using digital calendar apps

Google Calendar, Outlook Calendar, and Apple Calendar all have built-in holiday calendars. To enable:

  • Google Calendar: Settings → Add calendar → Browse calendars of interest → Holidays → Choose your country.
  • Outlook: File → Options → Calendar → Add holidays → Select United States or Ireland.
  • Apple Calendar: Preferences → Advanced → Turn on “Show holidays” and select your region.

Online calendar view

Websites like Timeanddate.com (established calendar resource) let you toggle holiday visibility on the fly. Simply select “US” or “Ireland” from the country dropdown and the calendar updates immediately.

What is the best free online calendar?

Top free online calendars

Five options, one pattern: Google Calendar leads in usability and holiday coverage, but if you want a single printable page, Timeanddate.com or Calendarpedia are better.

Calendar Holiday integration Print without download Best for
Google Calendar Yes (US, Ireland, many countries) N/A (web app) Daily use and sync
Timeanddate.com Yes (customizable) Yes One-time printable calendar
Outlook Calendar Yes (US, Ireland) N/A (desktop app) Work and school schedules
Calendarpedia Yes (US federal) Yes Downloadable templates
General Blue Yes (US federal) Yes Printable PDF/Word/Excel
Bottom line: For a quick online check, Google Calendar’s holiday toggle is the easiest. For a physical printout, Timeanddate.com gives you the most control. Irish users should prefer Timeanddate.com because it includes Ireland public holidays by default.

Confirmed facts

  • US federal holidays are fixed by law – 11 in 2025 (OPM)
  • Ireland public holidays are set by the Organisation of Working Time Act – 10 in 2025 (Citizens Information)
  • Free printable calendars are available from multiple tier 1/2 sources

What’s unclear

  • No legislative changes are anticipated that would add or remove holidays in 2025
  • Easter dates are determined by the ecclesiastical calendar and are not fixed to a single date

“New Year’s Day is observed on Wednesday, January 1, 2025 in the U.S. federal holiday schedule.”

U.S. Office of Personnel Management (federal holidays agency)

“Ireland’s public holiday list for 2025 includes New Year’s Day, St. Brigid’s Day, St. Patrick’s Day, Easter Monday, May Day, June Bank Holiday, August Bank Holiday, October Bank Holiday, Christmas Day, and St. Stephen’s Day.”

Citizens Information (Irish public service)

“Calendarpedia offers free downloadable 2025 calendar templates in Word, Excel, and PDF formats with U.S. federal holidays.”

Calendarpedia (calendar template publisher)

“Homemade Gifts Made Easy publishes a free printable 2025 calendar with holidays and includes both U.S. federal holidays and additional observances such as Lunar New Year and Easter Sunday.”

Homemade Gifts Made Easy (free printable template provider)

For anyone looking to plan 2025 around holidays, the choice is straightforward: use government sources for the official list, pick a free printable calendar template for your wall, and sync your digital app for reminders. The trade-off is between convenience (digital sync) and tangibility (printed wall calendar). For US readers, the OPM list is the definitive source. For Irish readers, Citizens Information is the gold standard. The biggest risk is relying on a single source that might miss a movable holiday like Easter. Cross-check with two sources, and you’ll never miss a day off.
