When is Columbus Day 2026?

Columbus Day is set by weekday rather than by date, so it lands on a different day of the month each year — Mon, Oct 12 in 2026, 1 day earlier than 2025.

Columbus Day 2026 gives 3 consecutive days off, Saturday, October 10, 2026 to Monday, October 12, 2026.

This is the part that changes: the date of Columbus Day moves by a day or two each year, and whether that makes a three-day weekend, a four-day one or nothing at all depends entirely on which weekday it lands on.
