Public and school holidays

Public and school holidays

Useful Information

Our guide to Public and school holidays by our Byron Bay local expert - Tourist towns across our coast get especially busy in the school holiday season and on long weekends. It always pays to book in advance over these peak periods and you can pay a premium on prices for flights and accommodation. Many businesses close on public holidays, especially over the religious periods. However lots of hospitality and tourism industry operators do remain open and trade, so be sure to enquire if you want to make a reservation somewhere (for example dinner on Christmas Day).
