The Government of Belize has released the official list of public and bank holidays for 2027, and it’s good news for anyone planning getaways. The calendar includes 10 long weekends, giving Belizeans and visitors plenty of chances to hit the cayes, the jungle or the river.
Several holidays have been moved to Mondays in lieu of their actual dates, including National Heroes and Benefactors Day, Labour Day, Emancipation Day and Indigenous People’s Resistance Day. Easter delivers a four day weekend from Good Friday through Easter Monday, while Christmas and Boxing Day create a three day break at year’s end.
Independence Day falls on Tuesday, September 21, which may tempt many to take Monday off for an extended celebration.
