This page focuses on calendar opportunities and draft planning copy. A later content pass should add country-specific norms, closure details, and travel guidance for each major holiday weekend.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a long weekend?
A long weekend is an extended break where a public holiday connects with a Saturday or Sunday, usually creating three or more consecutive days away from normal work or school schedules.
What is a bridge day?
A bridge day is a workday between a public holiday and a weekend. Taking that day off can turn a Tuesday or Thursday holiday into a longer break.
How are long weekends calculated?
This page checks public holidays that fall on Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, or Friday. Monday and Friday holidays create 3-day weekends, while Tuesday and Thursday holidays can create bridge-day opportunities.
Does this page include school holidays?
The long-weekend table focuses on public holidays. School holidays may overlap with these dates, but they are tracked separately on the main holidays calendar.
Are these guaranteed days off?
Public holiday closures vary by country, region, employer, and school system. Bridge days usually require taking leave unless they are officially observed locally.
