The law "Par svētku, atceres un atzīmējamām dienām" defines three public holidays that were missing from the provider:

  • Final Day of the Nationwide Latvian Song and Dance Celebration - held every five years, date fixed per event by Cabinet order (2018-07-08, 2023-07-09, 2028-07-09). The same Saturday/Sunday observed rule as for 4 May and 18 November applies.
  • 2018-09-24 - pastoral visit of Pope Francis (one-off)
  • 2023-05-29 - Latvian ice hockey team bronze medal win (one-off)

Also renames 26 December from "St. Stephen's Day" to "Second day of Christmas" (Otrie Ziemassvētki), matching the law and the naming used by the Bulgaria and Svalbard providers; the Id changes from LV-STSTEPHENSDAY-01 to LV-CHRISTMASDAY-02. Adds the official English translation of the law to the sources.
