Best Long Weekends in 2027 (India, US, Canada, UK, Australia)
A long weekend happens when a public holiday sits next to a Saturday or Sunday. A holiday on a Thursday or Tuesday becomes a four-day break if you take the bridging day off.
India
New Year's Day 2027 is a Friday, and Republic Day falls on a Tuesday, so taking Monday 25 January off gives four days. Holi on Monday 22 March gives a natural three-day weekend.
US, Canada, UK and Australia
Most holidays in these countries are fixed to Mondays by law, so long weekends are predictable. Good Friday and Easter Monday in late March 2027 give a four-day weekend in the UK, Canada and Australia.

Open the Festivals and Holidays page, select your country and year, and the long weekends section lists every bridge opportunity.
