Bridge day check

Falls on a Thursday. Book the Friday off and you get a four-day weekend — the classic bridge day.

Book off 6 Mar 2026 for 4 days off.

What the day is for

Officially recognised as a public holiday, so most people have the day off work.

Do shops and banks close?

Expect offices, banks and the majority of shops to be closed.

Getting around

Public transport usually runs a Sunday or holiday timetable.

These notes come from the day's official classification rather than country-specific reporting, so treat them as general guidance for French Polynesia.

When it falls each year

Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
