Mother's Day is observed on the second Sunday of May every year, shaping retail and hospitality trade for the week either side of it. 12 May 2029 falls inside the same 31-day month, ten months into the financial year that began the previous July and two months short of its 30 June close.
Sport fixtures, markets and family events across Australia are concentrated on Saturdays more than any other day of the week. 12 May 2029 falls on Saturday, outside the standard working-day count used on this page, between the working week that ends on Friday and the one that begins the following Monday.
2029 has 365 days on the calendar. Leap years add a single extra day to February, giving those years 366 days instead of 365 and shifting the day-of-year number for every date from March onward by one compared with an ordinary year. This is the only irregularity in the length of the Australian calendar year.
