When to use this long weekend guide

Best for users planning time off, travel windows, family schedules, or add-to-calendar reminders around holiday weekends.

What counts as a long weekend?

A page is included when the holiday itself creates a weekend extension or when the verified holiday date is commonly searched as a weekend planning moment. Some holidays use a Monday rule, while others create a weekend because the 2026 date falls on a Friday or Thursday.
