New Zealand > About NZ > Public Holidays

Public holidays up to the 1970's were times when business and industry stopped and families got together for recreation, and only public transport and emergency services operated.

Today on any national or regional holiday, the banks, postal services and many businesses close, but most shops and supermarkets remain open with the exception of Christmas day and Good Friday.
