About long weekends
Here, a long weekend is three or more consecutive days off, made by a holiday that falls next to a weekend. Where taking a single day of leave would join a holiday to the weekend, it is shown as a leave tip. Poya days fall on a different weekday each month, so they create many of these breaks.
Frequently asked questions
How many long weekends are there in Sri Lanka in 2027?
There are 14 long weekends in 2027, listed in the table on this page.
What is a bridge day?
A bridge day is a single working day between a holiday and a weekend. Taking it as leave turns the holiday into a longer break, and these are shown as leave tips.
Do Poya days make long weekends?
Often. A Poya day on a Friday or Monday gives a three-day weekend, and one on a Thursday or Tuesday can become a four-day break with one day of leave.
