qld-2027in our public holiday dataset. Every date below is read from that record at build time.
What we checked, and what we changed: Verified 19 Sep 2026 directly from the live qld.gov.au public holidays table (2026-2029 columns). ANZAC Day 2027 is observed on Monday 26 April only (25 April 2027 is a Sunday; Queensland's rule moves the holiday to the following Monday rather than holding both days). Only the Brisbane Ekka show date is captured for 2027; other QLD show-day localities publish 2027 dates on a rolling basis and were not individually verified — see source_url.
