All Saints' Day (Alla helgons dag) – Sweden

The next All Saints' Day (Alla helgons dag) is on Saturday, October 31, 2026 – in 46 days.

All Saints' Day on November 1 honours all saints and is a public holiday in France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Austria, Poland, Portugal and parts of Germany and Switzerland. In Sweden it's a public holiday, so schools, government offices and most businesses close.

When is it? All Saints' Day (Alla helgons dag) falls on the first Saturday on or after October 31. Because the rule points at a weekday rather than a fixed date, it moves every year, which is exactly why the table below is worth a bookmark. Next time round is Saturday, October 31, 2026, 46 days from now.

Which weekday does it land on? Always the same day: every one of the eleven years in the table puts All Saints' Day (Alla helgons dag) on a Saturday. None of those years put it next to a weekend, so it doesn't make a long weekend on its own. You can open the printable calendar for any year in the table and see the date in context.

What to expect on the day. Banks, government offices and schools close. Supermarkets and larger shops usually open on reduced hours, smaller independents often don't bother, and public transport tends to run a Sunday timetable. Post isn't collected or delivered. If you need something from a council, a bank or a doctor's surgery, the working day before it is the one to aim for, and it will be busier than usual for exactly that reason. In 2026 it falls in October, which also holds Cinnamon Bun Day on the 4th, Summer Time ends (clocks back) on the 25th and Halloween on the 31st. Worth seeing them together before you commit to dates.
