Burkina Faso · 2026

Burkina Faso records 13 holidays in 2026. 13 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. Revolution Day (3 Jan 2026), International Women’s Day (8 Mar 2026), Assumption Day (15 Aug 2026) and 2 others fall on a weekend in 2026, so they hand back no extra day off. New Year's Day (1 Jan 2026) and Ascension Day (14 May 2026) 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 82 days, between 15 May 2026 and 5 Aug 2026. The next is Martyrs' Day on 31 Oct 2026.
