Senegal Public Holidays 2026

Complete list of public holidays — nationwide & regional

2025 2026 2027
There are 14 national public holidays in Senegal during 2026. Of these, 3 fall on a weekend this particular year, which leaves 11 on working days — a detail worth checking, since holidays that land on a Saturday or Sunday are not always compensated with a day off in lieu. There are 3 clear "bridge day" opportunities this year — where a public holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, so taking the single adjoining day off turns it into a four-day weekend. The calendar opens with New Year's Day on Thursday 1 January and closes with Christmas Day on Friday 25 December.
