Public Holidays in Cameroon — 2025
Cameroon keeps a short official calendar in 2025: 8 public holidays in total, so each one carries real weight for planning.
Every one of them falls on a working day this year, because none collide with the local Saturday + Sunday weekend.
The calendar clusters: May alone holds 3 of them, while 6 month(s) have none at all.
The longest dry spell runs 132 days, from Friday, August 15, 2025 to Thursday, December 25, 2025; that is the stretch worth spending annual leave on.
2 holiday(s) sit next to the weekend, and 5 single bridge day(s) could turn into a four-day break.
Cameroon sits in Middle Africa, is run from Yaoundã, pays in Cfa Franc, Beac, and has about 26.5M people planning around these same dates.
