Counting Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, 11 of the 12 holiday dates in 2026 fall on a working day and 1 on a weekend.
Counting Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, 11 of the 12 holiday dates in 2026 fall on a working day and 1 on a weekend. The most common weekday for a holiday is Monday, with 4 dates.
Seven of the 12 dates land on a Monday or Friday, next to the weekend, so they make a long weekend without using any leave: Epiphany on Monday, January 5, Juan Pablo Duarte Day on Monday, January 26, National Independence Day on Friday, February 27, Good Friday on Friday, April 3, Labor Day on Monday, May 4, Constitution Day on Monday, November 9, and 1 more. Three 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), Corpus Christi on Thursday, June 4 (take Friday off) and Our Lady of Mercedes Day on Thursday, September 24 (take Friday off).
January is the busiest month, with 4 holiday dates. March, July and October have no public holiday at all. The longest stretch between two holidays is 73 days, from Corpus Christi on June 4 to Restoration Day on August 16, the natural window for a longer break.
2027 brings 12 public holidays, the same number as 2026. 8 of the 12 dates fall on a working day, and 6 land next to the weekend.
