Reformation Day and school summer holiday rotation in Lower Saxony

Lower Saxony introduced Reformation Day (31 October) as a permanent statutory public holiday in 2018 alongside other northern states.

In Hannover, the traditional Schützenfest Hannover is celebrated in July as the world's largest marksmen's festival. Summer school holidays rotate within the federal states' coordination schedule (KMK Group II, shared with Bremen), set by the Ministry of Education.
