2026 Singapore Observance Days

What is a Long Weekend in Singapore?

In Singapore, a long weekend is a stretch of three or more consecutive days off, usually including a public holiday. It’s a fantastic opportunity to travel, relax, or enjoy quality time with loved ones.

How Do Long Weekends Happen?

Long weekends often occur when a public holiday falls on a Friday or Monday, extending the weekend by an extra day. Occasionally, a public holiday on Tuesday or Thursday might prompt the government to declare a “bridge holiday” on the adjacent Monday or Friday, creating an even longer break.

Why Are Long Weekends Popular?

Long weekends offer a refreshing escape without using up too many vacation days. They’re perfect for short trips, local adventures, or simply unwinding at home.
