These are the dates as officially observed. Where a country moves a day off because the holiday itself falls at a weekend, the moved date is the one shown, which is why a date here can differ from the traditional one. 23 of these apply to some regions rather than the whole country; the generator can narrow the calendar to one region so only the days off that actually apply are printed.

Long weekends in 2028

Stretches of three or more days off in a row, counting weekends and nationwide public holidays together. Holidays that apply only to some regions are left out, since they would not give most people the day off.
