Public holidays in Imagua and the Assimas (Vespasian: Giorni festivi a Imagua e Assime, Western Imaguan Creole: Helda Imakua o Asima) are a set of holidays recognized by the Imaguan government, with their origins based on a combination of religious, cultural, or nationalistic factors.
Since its independence from Estmere in 1948, there have been fifteen national holidays observed across the island, in addition to a county holiday (Vespasian: Feste della contea, Western Imaguan Creole: lanidak) which is only celebrated in a given county.
