What it is
Unity Day is a public holiday in Russia observed on 4 November. It is usually linked to the events of 1612, when a popular militia liberated Moscow during the Time of Troubles, and it has been an official holiday since 2005.
For businesses the practical side matters most: customers want to know if you are open, and the holiday can fall next to other days off. The tone should be calm and respectful.
Symbols: The Russian tricolour, a monument to Minin and Pozharsky in Moscow, a Kremlin view, a family table
Emoji: 🇷🇺 🤝 🏛️ 🍁 ☀️ 🕊️
Colours: White, blue, red
Hashtags: #UnityDay #4November #HolidayHours #LongWeekend #SupportLocal

Happy Unity Day! We are open on 4 November with our usual hours. Come for a family lunch, a warm drink after an autumn walk or a quiet hour with a book. We prepared a seasonal menu with soup, baked apples and hot tea with spices. Thank you for being with us. How do you like to spend this day off?
Congratulations on Unity Day! A short note: during the holiday our delivery schedule may change slightly. Orders placed now will be packed on the next working day, and we will write here if anything shifts. Thank you for your patience. If you need something before the day off, order today and write to us in the chat, and we will tell you what is possible.
Dear neighbours, congratulations on Unity Day. On 4 November we will have holiday hours: open in the morning and closed in the afternoon so the team can be with their families. If you need something for the day off, stop by earlier in the week. Thank you for supporting a small local business, and enjoy a warm and peaceful day.
What to avoid
- Do not use jokes, memes or slang with national symbols or with the historical events behind the day; keep a respectful tone
- Do not attach aggressive sales banners to a holiday greeting; a clear note about hours and a relaxed offer is enough
- Do not invent history or dates; if you mention them, check against reliable sources
When to post
- Publish your holiday hours 3–5 days ahead; check the official production calendar, as the days around the holiday may vary from year to year
- Post the greeting on the morning of Wednesday, 4 November 2026
- After the holiday, return to the usual schedule and thank customers who visited
What to check afterwards
- Questions about opening hours, which show if your information was clear
- Visits or orders on and around the holiday compared with a normal day
- Shares of the greeting by your customers
