Sierra Leone records 9 holidays in 2026. 9 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. International Women's Day (8 Mar 2026) and Boxing Day (26 Dec 2026) fall on a weekend in 2026, so they hand back no extra day off. New Year's Day (1 Jan 2026) sits on a Tuesday or Thursday, so booking the Friday turns it into a four-day break. The busiest month is Apr, with 3 of them. The longest run without one is 238 days, between 1 May 2026 and 25 Dec 2026. The next is Christmas Day on 25 Dec 2026.
