About Public Holidays in Haïti
Haiti, the first Black republic and second independent nation in the Americas, commemorates its revolutionary birth with unusual solemnity. Independence Day on January 1 is also Ancestry Day, when families eat the traditional pumpkin soup that was once forbidden to enslaved people. Flag Day on May 18, the Battle of Vertières on November 18 and Dessalines Day in October mark the struggle for freedom, while Carnival and Rara, a Lenten street festival with deep African roots, fill the streets with music. Catholic feasts and Vodou ceremonies together shape a unique calendar.
In October 2026 there is 1 public holiday: Death of Dessalines. In 2026, Haiti observes 16 public holidays including 16 national, of which 5 fall on a weekend.
