Counting Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, 19 of the 19 holiday dates in 2026 fall on a working day and none on a weekend.
Counting Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, 19 of the 19 holiday dates in 2026 fall on a working day and none on a weekend. The most common weekday for a holiday is Monday, with 12 dates.
16 of the 19 dates land on a Monday or Friday, next to the weekend, so they make a long weekend without using any leave: Epiphany (observed) on Monday, January 12, Saint Joseph's Day (observed) on Monday, March 23, Good Friday on Friday, April 3, Labor Day on Friday, May 1, Ascension Day (observed) on Monday, May 18, Corpus Christi (observed) on Monday, June 8, and 10 more. Two more holidays sit one working day away from the weekend, so a single day of leave turns each into a four-day break: New Year's Day on Thursday, January 1 (take Friday off) and Immaculate Conception on Tuesday, December 8 (take Monday off).
June is the busiest month, with 3 holiday dates. February and September have no public holiday at all. The longest stretch between two holidays is 70 days, from Epiphany (observed) on January 12 to Saint Joseph's Day (observed) on March 23, the natural window for a longer break.
9 entries are observed, substitute or bridge days that move holidays onto working days, for example Epiphany (observed) on January 12.
2027 brings 19 public holidays, the same number as 2026. 16 of the 19 dates fall on a working day, and 13 land next to the weekend.
