State holidays and Joninės Midsummer in Lithuania

Public holidays in Lithuania are defined in the Labour Code, highlighting crucial turning points in Lithuanian history: the Restoration of the State Day (16 February 1918), Restoration of Independence Day (11 March 1990), and Statehood Day (6 July, commemorating the coronation of King Mindaugas). The calendar also observes both All Saints' Day (1 November) and All Souls' Day / Vėlinės (2 November), alongside traditional Saint John's Day / Rasos (24 June).

The school calendar is regulated by the Ministry of Education, Science and Sport, providing uniform term dates and holidays across all municipalities. Primary and secondary school terms are divided into trimesters or semesters, with senior students finishing classes ahead of the national maturity examination session.
