Most of Star Wars uses a five day week, and a ten month year. Following are the days and the months in the Tapani Sector, which correspond almost directly to the Coruscant local calendar. The Tapani Sector is an area of the Colonies region of the galaxy which is considered a respected part of the Core Worlds, due to its proximity and wealth.
Standard time
The standard hour and year are marked by Coruscant's local hour and year. A standard minute consists of 60 seconds; an hour consists of 60 minutes; a day consists of 24 hours. A standard week consists of 5 days; a month consists of seven (!) weeks. A standard year is 368 days, including ten months, three fete weeks and three other holidays.
368 days = 1 year
60 minutes = 1 hour
24 hours = 1 day
5 days = 1 week
7 weeks = 1 month
35 days = 1 month
10 months + 3 festival weeks + 3 holiday days = 1 year
According to Rebellion, Coruscant is located in Sesswenna Sector. Coruscant Standard Time is the galactic standard time reference, and was used to indicate the current time on the planet Coruscant, no matter where a being was in the galaxy. Many planets provided two time measurements: local time and Coruscant Standard Time. The dating systems of the Galactic Republic and Galactic Empire are unknown. [Source]
Wikipedia with regard to the Battle of Yavin -fixpoint however claims: "In-universe, this dating system is used almost exclusively by the Rebel Alliance/New Republic. The earlier Galactic Empire preferred to date events from the Great Resynchronization of 35 BBY, or from the Emperor's ascension to the throne (19 BBY). The Galactic Republic dated years from the Ruusan Reformation of 1,000 BBY." [Source]

Various Star Wars Holidays
Expansion Week
a holiday celebrated throughout Tapani Sector, Expansion Week comes just before the upper class Capital Season. It fell between the months of Selona and Telona. (LE, PGT)
Harvest Day
a holiday celebrated in Tapani Sector, it was first observed by the original settlers of the sector. The exact origins of the holiday are have been lost over time, but it is believed that the settlers traditionally commemorated the time of harvesting their crops on this day. In modern times, it is simply a day off from work. Harvest Day fell between the months of Yelona and Relona on the Tapani local calendar.
Mofat
a Polneyi month or season. Platt Mallar reported that the Yevethan attack on Polneye took place on the 40th day of Mofat.
Month of Plenty
this Weequay holy season honored the moon god Quay. Temples on the planet Sriluur which were dedicated to Quay had an open skylight in their roof which allowed Weequay priests to track the moon's progress during this month.
Productivity Day
this Tapani Sector holiday fell between the months of Nelona and Helona.
Shelova Week
this traditional Herglic holiday celebrates commerce and family, two things which are interrelated to the Herglic race. A prominent holiday in the Tapani Sector, Shelova Week is a time to exchange gifts, make new business alliances, discuss trade arrangements, and spend time with family members. As the human population of the sector began interacting with the Herglics, they too began celebrating the holiday, although many humans simply take vacation instead of also developing business partnetships. On the Tapani local calendar, Shelova Week fell between the months of Helona and Melona.
Tapani Day
this holiday, celebrated in Tapani Sector, was held annually just after the month of Kelona, and before the month of Selona.
Thulpin
this is the name of the summer growing season on the planet Draenell's Point. It lasts about 14 standard months, making up about a fourth of the planet's long year.
Winter Fete
this is a holiday observed in Tapani Sector, and originally marked the winter equinox on the planet Pelagon. The settlers there were the first to celebrate Winter Fete, and when they began settling other planets in the sector, the holiday went with them. Over time, the holiday was modified to coincide with Coruscant's Fete Week. In the current Tapani local calendar, Winter Fete falls on the very last week of the year, following the month of Welona.
