Counting Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, 8 of the 11 holiday dates in 2026 fall on a working day and 3 on a weekend. The most common weekday for a holiday is Friday, with 3 dates.
Four of the 11 dates land on a Monday or Friday, next to the weekend, so they make a long weekend without using any leave: Good Friday on Friday, April 3, Labor Day on Friday, May 1, Army Day on Monday, June 29 and Christmas Day on Friday, December 25. 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), Independence Day on Tuesday, September 15 (take Monday off) and Revolution Day on Tuesday, October 20 (take Monday off).
April is the busiest month, with 3 holiday dates. February, March and July have no public holiday at all. The longest stretch between two holidays is 91 days, from New Year's Day on January 1 to Maundy Thursday on April 2, the natural window for a longer break.
2027 brings 11 public holidays, the same number as 2026. 7 of the 11 dates fall on a working day, and 4 land next to the weekend.
