Congo records 11 holidays in 2026. 11 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. Dimanche de Pâques (5 Apr 2026), Fête Nationale (15 Aug 2026), Toussaint (1 Nov 2026) and 1 other fall on a weekend in 2026, so they hand back no extra day off. Jour de l'An (1 Jan 2026) and Ascension (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 94 days, between 1 Jan 2026 and 5 Apr 2026. The next is Toussaint on 1 Nov 2026.
