History & Traditions: Day After New Year's Day is a public holiday in Rwanda, reflecting the country's value on family and community. There is no specific historical event tied to this day; rather, it serves as an extension of New Year's Day celebrations. It allows people to have more time to rest and celebrate the beginning of the year with family and friends.
Observance: On this day, Rwandans typically continue festivities from New Year's Eve and New Year's Day. It is common for families to gather for meals and for friends to visit each other. The extended holiday period provides an opportunity for those who traveled for the festive season to return home before resuming work. Additionally, some may use the extra day off to reflect on the past year and set goals for the upcoming one.
Public services often run on a reduced schedule, as many businesses remain closed to enable employees to enjoy the holiday period with their loved ones.
