BRUNSSUM, Netherlands – The religious holiday Easter (Sunday, April 9) and the days surrounding it are widely celebrated throughout Europe as public holidays, and as a result many operational hours across the garrison are likely to alter temporarily.
Many establishments in Belgium, Germany, and the Netherlands observe Good Friday, April 7 and Easter Monday, April 10 as public holidays.
Below is a list of how these holidays will affect offices, services and facilities, organized according to location.
The list below is not comprehensive, and any community members who plan to visit a service or location are encouraged to call ahead (view our phonebook) to ensure that the service is available or the office is open in order to avoid inconvenience.
