Public holidays in Imagua and the Assimas (Etrurian: Giorni festivi a Imagua e Assimas, 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 fourteen national holidays observed across the island, in addition to a parochial holiday (Etrurian: Festa parrocchiale, Imaguan Creole: sokenidak) which is only celebrated in a given parish.
