Haiti public holidays 2027

What the numbers say about Haiti in 2027

The count uses Saturday and Sunday as the weekly rest days, the standard pattern in Haiti. Only holidays that apply across the whole country are deducted. Someone working in a region with its own extra days will have a little more time off than these figures show.

December is the longest working month with 23 days, and February the shortest with 17. A gap of 6 days is enough to make a fixed monthly target noticeably harder in some months than in others. Across quarters, Q1 is the leanest at 57 working days (January, February, March).

2026 had 246working days, so 2027gives you 2 more working days.Plans copied over from last year without adjusting for that difference will be slightly off from January onwards.

Among the 204 countries we track for 2027, the median number of national holidays is 12. With 20, Haiti sits above the middle of the range, around the 96th percentile (the lowest count this year is 3, the highest 49).

Holidays create 4 stretches of three or more days off in a row. The longest lasts 5 days, from 6 February to 10 February (Carnival, Ash Wednesday). There are also 4 bridge days: a single working day squeezed between a holiday and the weekend, where one day of leave turns into four or more days away. See every long weekend in 2027.

8 holidays change date compared with 2026: Carnival, Carnival, Ash Wednesday, Maundy Thursday, Good Friday, Easter Sunday and more. Movable dates are the ones most often missed when last year's schedule is reused.
