The Haiti holiday calendar at a glance

Haiti observes 19 nationwide public holidays each year. Every holiday applies nationwide, so there are no regional days to track. 12 keep the same date every year, such as Jour de l'an, Jour des Aieux and 10 others. The other 7 move from year to year — Carnaval, Mercredi Des Cendres, Jeudi saint and 4 others — so check the date before you plan. In 2026, Jour des Aieux, Carnaval, Vendredi saint and 4 others land on a Monday or Friday, giving a three-day weekend with no leave needed.
