Counting Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, 7 of the 13 holiday dates in 2026 fall on a working day and 6 on a weekend.
Counting Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, 7 of the 13 holiday dates in 2026 fall on a working day and 6 on a weekend. 1 date carries more than one holiday, which is why the table lists 14 names for 13 dates. The most common weekday for a holiday is Tuesday, with 3 dates.
Three of the 13 dates land on a Monday or Friday, next to the weekend, so they make a long weekend without using any leave: Easter Monday on Monday, April 6, Labor Day on Friday, May 1 and Christmas Day on Friday, December 25. Four 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), Epiphany on Tuesday, January 6 (take Monday off), Republic Day on Tuesday, June 2 (take Monday off) and Immaculate Conception on Tuesday, December 8 (take Monday off).
April and December are the busiest months, with 3 holiday dates. Four months have no public holiday at all (February, March, July and September). The longest stretch between two holidays is 89 days, from Epiphany on January 6 to Easter Sunday on April 5, the natural window for a longer break.
2027 brings 14 public holidays, the same number as 2026. 7 of the 14 dates fall on a working day, and 4 land next to the weekend.
