Here is each day off in date order, what it marks, and the quickest way to turn it into a longer long weekend.
- Friday, January 1: New Year's Day. New Year's Day is a statutory holiday across Canada, with polar bear dips in some towns and a quiet day for most. It closes the winter holiday season. You get 3 free days in a row, January 1 to 3, with no leave needed.
- Friday, March 26: Good Friday. Good Friday is a statutory holiday in every province. It creates the Easter long weekend, a popular time for spring skiing or a first trip south. You get 3 free days in a row, March 26 to 28, with no leave needed.
- Thursday, July 1: Memorial Day / Canada Day. On 1 July Newfoundland and Labrador marks both Canada Day and Memorial Day, remembering the soldiers of the Newfoundland Regiment lost at Beaumont Hamel in 1916. Morning services come before the Canada Day celebrations. Take Friday, July 2 off and you have 4 days in a row, July 1 to 4.
- Monday, September 6: Labour Day. Labour Day on the first Monday of September is the last long weekend of summer in Canada, right before school starts. Expect busy roads to cottages and campgrounds. You get 3 free days in a row, September 4 to 6, with no leave needed.
- Thursday, November 11: Remembrance Day. Remembrance Day on 11 November honours those who died in military service, with a moment of silence at 11 a.m. and poppies worn in the weeks before. Take Friday, November 12 off and you have 4 days in a row, November 11 to 14.
- Saturday, December 25: Christmas Day. Christmas Day is a statutory holiday across Canada, when most shops close. Taking leave between Christmas and New Year gives one of the longest breaks of the year for few days of leave. It falls on a Saturday, and Newfoundland and Labrador's list has no weekday in lieu for it in 2027.

The math: vacation days in, days off out
With 1 vacation day the longest run you can build is 4 days, July 1 to 4. Three days stretch to 6 days off (June 26 to July 1). Five days, a typical week, become 10 days off around New Year's Day, January 1 to 10.
Ten days, the most this planner books in one go, give 17 days in a row, January 1 to 17. For nine days or more away you need 4 vacation days.
Two weeks of vacation is ten working days, exactly the largest budget above: one long winter or summer break, or several long weekends spread over the year.

Winter: New Year's Day on January 1 and Christmas Day on December 25. The pick of the season is December 25, 2026 to January 3, 2027 with 4 vacation days for 10 days off.

Where to go on a long weekend from Newfoundland and Labrador
From Newfoundland and Labrador, Gros Morne National Park is spectacular in summer, iceberg alley around Twillingate shines in late spring, and the colourful streets of St. John's make a lively city break. Fall brings colour to the Codroy Valley.
Your strongest long weekends this year fall in December, March and July, so pick the trip that suits that season, and book early: everyone else in Newfoundland and Labrador has the same days off.
Newfoundland and Labrador in other years
2026 and 2028 are planned as well, each with its own dates and long weekends.
Holiday dates move every year: fixed-date days change their weekday, and Easter moves between late March and late April, which is why the best long weekends are never the same twice.
Where these dates come from
Every date on this page comes from the official source for Newfoundland and Labrador: Government of Newfoundland and Labrador, Labour Standards: Your Rights at Work and Canada.ca: General holidays, read directly and compared day by day with an independent second source. A year appears once its official list is published, and we never fill a gap with another province or territory's dates.
The planner treats weekends and full statutory holidays as free days and works out where your vacation days turn into the longest time off. Days kept in part of Newfoundland and Labrador or as observances are shown but never counted. Last checked on October 1, 2026.
