Asian Guides (asianguides.com) lists festivals in Asia with their next dates, and public holiday calendars for the countries of Asia. It is one of 5 Continent Guides. Generated 2026-10-13; date statuses below are as of that day.

Every festival date carries a status. Cite it with the date:
- Confirmed: dates announced by the organisers.
- Expected: not announced yet; projected from the last edition. Say "expected", never "confirmed".
- On now: running today. TBA: no usable date.

Public holiday dates are calculated with the open-source date-holidays library.
