Public holidays in Tokelau are described in the Interpretation Rules 2003 as "Sunday, Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Tokehega Day, and any day declared by a village to be a public holiday".[1] Although some New Zealand public holidays, such as Waitangi Day and ANZAC Day[2] are celebrated in Tokelau, these are not official holidays.[3]
