Children's Day

Moldova celebrates Children’s Day in a big way every 1 June. It’s a national holiday here and there are children’s events put on all over the country. In 2026, Children's Day falls on Monday 1 June. The holiday will be on Tuesday 1 June in 2027. Children’s Day is meant to stress the importance and value of children intrinsically, in family units, and in society at large. It’s a holiday where parents and others with a heart for kids can give them a special gift, take them to special events, or do something else to show them how special they really are. Many Children’s Day events in Moldova will have games, crafts, cultural exhibits, children’s theatres, trampolines or inflatables, petting zoos, candy and sweets giveaways, and a host of other features that kids love. Events are also often organised at orphanages and people may visit to give gifts to orphans or just spend some time with them. The traditional first day of summer, 1 June, is a great time for outdoor activities. So children’s day often involves outings and showing kids the wonders of nature.

Chinese New Year

Situated at the cross roads of many cultures in the mid-Indian Ocean, Mauritius has holidays from many traditions and religions on its calendar. Included among these is Chinese New Year, an import of Chinese immigrants who came to the island as business owners and traders, especially during the 1840’s and 1850’s. In 2027, Chinese New Year falls on Saturday 6 February. The holiday will be on Wednesday 26 January in 2028. The greatest concentration of Chinese-Mauritians is in the city of Port Louis, but they live all over the island and even those not of Chinese descent get involved in the Chinese New Year celebrations. The exact date of Chinese New Year is based on the Chinese Calendar, and it changes every year on the Gregorian Calendar, but it will always come sometime in January or February. Chinese New Year is a celebration of spring, and the beauty of Mauritius’ white sand beaches, turquoise blue waters, and dramatic island contours and greenery are in full display this time of year. Many families will get together to celebrate and feast on both Mauritian and Chinese cuisine. Some will get costumed and perform the traditional Lion Dance. Others will set off firecrackers, which was traditionally done to “drive away evil spirits”. Everyone will reflect on the old year and plan for the new. Many will make new year resolutions, and it’s not uncommon for people to pay special attention to “bad and good luck” during Chinese New Year, to avoid a full 12 months of bad luck in the Chinese year ahead.

Chinese New Year Holiday

Chinese New Year is an official holiday on Christmas Island and the holiday covers two days instead of just one.

In 2027, Chinese New Year falls on Saturday 6 February. The holiday will be on Wednesday 26 January in 2028. The streets and public squares on Christmas Island may be decorated with red Chinese paper lanterns and other traditional decorations. There will be lion or dragon dances in the streets and public processions. Chinese people also clean their homes thoroughly for the new year to sweep away bad luck, place bowls of mandarin oranges throughout the house for good luck, arrange decorations with the lucky number eight, and wear red or gold Chinese traditional attire. Many also honour ancestors at shrines, watch a fireworks show, and give gifts of money in red envelopes. Common Chinese New Year foods include sticky rice cakes, Chinese dumplings, lots of fish dishes, jiu Chinese liquor, and a host of other delicacies. The main “reunion” feast is typically held on Chinese New Year’s Eve.

Christmas Day

Christmas in New Caledonia is celebrated with a public holiday every 25 December, as it is in a majority of countries around the world. This Christian festivity commemorates the birth of Jesus, and is part of a 22-28 day season in the Christian calendar known as Advent. In 2026, Christmas falls on Friday 25 December. The holiday will be on Saturday 25 December in 2027. Christmas Day and the Christmas season are a busy time of year in New Caledonia. This is one of the main tourist seasons on the island with many from Australia, New Zealand, and France coming here while the kids are out of school. About half in New Caledonia are Catholic and often go to mass all night on the day before Christmas. They seek to welcome Christmas morning while joyfully remembering the day that Christ was born. Many Protestants and Evangelicals in New Caledonia go to church on Christmas Day or the Sunday nearest to Christmas to celebrate the birth of the Saviour. The capital city of Noumea is lit up like a Christmas tree for the holidays each year. The city centre is the brightest spot, including Coconut Palm Square, the capital complex, and the Noumea Museum. Both palm trees and buildings are decked out with multi-coloured lights for the occasion.
