Haiti Public Holidays 2026

Complete list of public holidays — nationwide & regional

2025 2026 2027
Haiti observes 16 nationwide public holidays in 2026. This year 4 of them land on a Saturday or Sunday, so only 12 reduce the working week. There is 1 clear "bridge day" opportunity this year — where a public holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, so taking the single adjoining day off turns it into a four-day weekend. The calendar opens with Independence Day on Thursday 1 January and closes with Christmas Day on Friday 25 December.
