Caribbean Netherlands records 16 holidays in 2026. 11 are nationwide public holidays and 5 apply only in certain regions. Pasen (5 Apr 2026), Pinksteren (24 May 2026) and Second Day of Christmas (26 Dec 2026) fall on a weekend in 2026, so they hand back no extra day off. Nieuwjaarsdag (1 Jan 2026) and Hemelvaartsdag (14 May 2026) sit on a Tuesday or Thursday: book the Fridays and each becomes a four-day break. The busiest month is Apr, with 4 of them. The longest run without one is 144 days, between 3 Aug 2026 and 25 Dec 2026. The next is Kerstmis on 25 Dec 2026.
