St Florian's Day – Austria

The next St Florian's Day is on Tuesday, May 4, 2027 – in 231 days.

In Austria it's a regional holiday. Some states, provinces or regions take the day off and others don't, so check what applies where you live.

When is it? St Florian's Day falls on the same date every year, May 4. The date itself never changes, but the day of the week does, and that decides whether you get a long weekend out of it. Next time round is Tuesday, May 4, 2027, 231 days from now.

Which weekday does it land on? Across the eleven years in the table, St Florian's Day lands twice on a Sunday, twice on a Friday, twice on a Thursday and twice on a Tuesday. In three of those it sits next to a weekend, turning it into a three-day break. Those are the years to book early. You can open the printable calendar for any year in the table and see the date in context.

What to expect on the day. It depends entirely on where you are. In the states or regions that observe it, expect the usual public holiday pattern of closures. Everywhere else in Austria it's a normal working day, which is worth remembering if you're arranging anything across regional lines. In 2027 it falls in May, which also holds Labour Day (Staatsfeiertag) on the 1st, Ascension Day (Christi Himmelfahrt) on the 6th, Mother's Day (Muttertag) on the 9th and Whit Sunday (Pentecost) on the 16th. Worth seeing them together before you commit to dates.

Putting it in your own calendar. You don't need to. Every calendar on this site already shows St Florian's Day for whichever country you've selected. What's worth adding is everything around it: the travel, the cover arrangements, who's visiting when. Open the month, click the days and type. Keep a free account and the notes stay with you between devices, and you can send someone a read-only link so you're both working from the same dates.

Every date here is worked out from the official rule rather than copied off a list, so the later years are as reliable as this one. If a date looks wrong for your region, please say so. Regional holiday rules do change, and we'd rather fix the rule than leave it.
