Belgium records 14 holidays in 2026. 11 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. Pasen (5 Apr 2026), Onze Lieve Vrouw hemelvaart (15 Aug 2026) and Allerheiligen (1 Nov 2026) fall on a weekend in 2026, so they hand back no extra day off. Nieuwjaar (1 Jan 2026), Onze Lieve Heer hemel (14 May 2026) and Nationale feestdag (21 Jul 2026) sit on a Tuesday or Thursday: book the Mondays and Fridays and each becomes a four-day break. The busiest month is May, with 3 of them. The longest run without one is 94 days, between 1 Jan 2026 and 5 Apr 2026. The next is Allerheiligen on 1 Nov 2026.
