Belgium records 14 holidays in 2027. 11 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. Pasen (28 Mar 2027), Dag van de arbeid (1 May 2027), Onze Lieve Vrouw hemelvaart (15 Aug 2027) and 1 other fall on a weekend in 2027, so they hand back no extra day off. Onze Lieve Heer hemel (6 May 2027) and Wapenstilstand (11 Nov 2027) sit on a Tuesday or Thursday: book the Fridays and each becomes a four-day break. The busiest month is May, with 3 of them. The longest run without one is 86 days, between 1 Jan 2027 and 28 Mar 2027. The year opens with Nieuwjaar on 1 Jan 2027 and closes with Kerstdag on 25 Dec 2027.
