Long Weekend for 2026.
A long weekend typically refers to a period of three to four consecutive days off from work, usually encompassing a Friday or Monday in addition to the usual Saturday and Sunday. These extended breaks are often the result of public holidays, such as Labor Day or Christmas day, or can be strategically planned by taking a personal leave day adjacent to the weekend of a holiday.
For many, long weekends are cherished pockets of time that allow for activities often pushed aside during the typical workweek. They are opportunities to hit pause, recharge, and return with renewed energy and perspective.
