Africa Day is an annual public holiday in Zambia and several other African nations that commemorates the founding of the Organisation of African Unity (OAU) on May 25, 1963. The day celebrates the successes of the African continent in its fight against colonialism and its progress toward economic integration. In Zambia, it is observed with cultural events and government ceremonies, resulting in the closure of financial markets.
This is a fixed annual holiday observed on May 25th. If the date falls on a weekend, the following Monday may be declared a public holiday depending on local labor laws.
