Haiti records 20 holidays in 2026. 20 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. Pâques (5 Apr 2026), L'Assomption de Marie (15 Aug 2026), Anniversaire de la mort de Dessalines (17 Oct 2026) and 2 others fall on a weekend in 2026, so they hand back no extra day off. Jour de l'an (1 Jan 2026), Le Jour des Rois (6 Jan 2026), Carnaval (17 Feb 2026) and 3 others sit on a Tuesday or Thursday: book the Mondays and Fridays and each becomes a four-day break.
