Long weekends 2028

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
Mon 19 Jun	17 Jun – 20 Jun 2028	1	4	4	Midwinter Day
Wed 21 Jun, Thu 22 Jun, Fri 23 Jun	20 Jun – 25 Jun 2028	3	6	2	Midwinter Day

Tue 26 Dec, Wed 27 Dec, Thu 28 Dec, Fri 29 Dec	23 Dec – 1 Jan 2029	4	10	2.5	Christmas Day, New Year's Day

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.
