Long weekends 2027

4 times a public holiday lies close to a weekend – with a little leave it becomes a long weekend:

Take leave	Off	Days of leave	Days off	Ratio	Occasion
Sun 7 Feb, Mon 8 Feb	5 Feb – 9 Feb 2027	2	5	2.5	National Sports Day
Wed 10 Feb, Thu 11 Feb	9 Feb – 13 Feb 2027	2	5	2.5	National Sports Day
Sun 7 Mar, Mon 8 Mar	5 Mar – 13 Mar 2027	2	9	4.5	Eid al-Fitr (estimated), Eid al-Fitr (estimated), Eid al-Fitr (estimated)
Wed 19 May, Thu 20 May	14 May – 22 May 2027	2	9	4.5	Eid al-Adha (estimated), Eid al-Adha (estimated), Eid al-Adha (estimated)

Counted are gaps of up to four working days between a public holiday and the weekend or another public holiday. "Ratio" = days off per day of leave. Weekends follow the local working week.

Dates are generated from the open-source library python-holidays and automatically cross-checked against Nager.Date and the public Google Calendar holiday calendars; every holiday on a working day must be confirmed by a second source. Official announcements take precedence, especially for holidays that depend on the moon or are declared at short notice.
