Belize records 14 holidays in 2026. 14 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. Holy Saturday (4 Apr 2026), Emancipation Day (1 Aug 2026) and Boxing Day (26 Dec 2026) fall on a weekend in 2026, so they hand back no extra day off. New Year's Day (1 Jan 2026), George Price Day (15 Jan 2026), Saint George's Caye Day (10 Sep 2026) and 1 other sit on a Tuesday or Thursday: book the Fridays and each becomes a four-day break. The busiest month is Apr, with 3 of them. The longest run without one is 92 days, between 1 May 2026 and 1 Aug 2026. The next is Garifuna Settlement Day on 19 Nov 2026.
