Northern Mariana Islands public holidays 2026

What the numbers say about Northern Mariana Islands in 2026

The count uses Saturday and Sunday as the weekly rest days, the standard pattern in Northern Mariana Islands. 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.

July is the longest working month with 22 days, and November the shortest with 18. A gap of 4 days is enough to make a fixed monthly target noticeably harder in some months than in others. Across quarters, Q1 is the leanest at 60 working days (January, February, March).

Among the 204 countries we track for 2026, the median number of national holidays is 12. With 15, Northern Mariana Islands sits above the middle of the range, around the 82nd percentile (the lowest count this year is 3, the highest 49).

Holidays create 9 stretches of three or more days off in a row. The longest lasts 3 days, from 17 January to 19 January (Martin Luther King Jr. Day). 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 2026.
