2026 Holidays Not Optimal For Long Weekends

2026 Holidays Not Optimal For Long Weekends posted (November 7, 2025) EmailThe Ministry of Home Affairs has released its list of public and bank holidays for 2026 - and if you're a long-weekend warrior, there's enough to be happy about - even if the lineup isn't quite as generous as before. There will be the standard 14 holidays next year, matching both 2024 and 2025, but only six of them will create long weekends. But, there will be weekend holidays. In 2026, Emancipation Day and Boxing Day fall on Saturdays and will not be observed on the Monday. There will be plenty of Thursday holidays like New Year's Day and George Price day in January, the 10th September and the 19th November. The holidays that fall on a Monday to create those long weekends are: National Heroes and Benefactors Day on March 9th, Easter Monday onApril 6th, Independence Day on September 21st, and Indigenous Peoples' Resistance Day on October 12th.
