Belgium records 14 holidays in 2028. 11 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. Nieuwjaar (1 Jan 2028), Pasen (16 Apr 2028) and Wapenstilstand (11 Nov 2028) fall on a weekend in 2028, so they hand back no extra day off. Onze Lieve Heer hemel (25 May 2028) and Onze Lieve Vrouw hemelvaart (15 Aug 2028) sit on a Tuesday or Thursday: book the Mondays and Fridays and each becomes a four-day break. The busiest month is Apr, with 2 of them. The longest run without one is 106 days, between 1 Jan 2028 and 16 Apr 2028. The year opens with Nieuwjaar on 1 Jan 2028 and closes with Kerstdag on 25 Dec 2028.
