Bridge day check
Falls on a Thursday. Book the Friday off and you get a four-day weekend — the classic bridge day.
Book off 16 Oct 2026 for 4 days off.
What the day is for
A recognised observance rather than a day off work.
Do shops and banks close?
Business as usual, though there may be local events or ceremonies.
Getting around
Normal services.
These notes come from the day's official classification rather than country-specific reporting, so treat them as general guidance for Latvia.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
