Long weekends in Micronesia
Your working week and workplace closures
In Micronesia, two long weekends are left in 2026 with no leave: Presidents Day (November 21 to 23) and Christmas Day (December 25 to 27). Best value: take December 28 to December 31 off (4 days) for ten days in a row around Christmas Day and New Year's Day.

How the planner works
Each row starts from a holiday that is a day off in the Micronesia holiday calendar we use, with its substitute day where the calendar gives one for a holiday on a weekend. It takes Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, as in Micronesia. If you work other days, or your workplace closes for a stretch, set them under “Your working week and workplace closures”: the rows, the leave budget and the calendar file then count leave only on days you would work. A holiday on a day you do not work adds no day off here; some employers give another day instead. The suggested leave days join the holiday to the nearest weekend or other holiday, using at most four days of leave, and the row shows the option with the most days off for each day of leave.
The planner follows the eight national holidays of the FSM Code, which national government offices keep. Chuuk, Kosrae, Pohnpei and Yap each add holidays of their own, so a break there can be longer than shown.
Employers, schools and regional calendars can add or move days. Check your own working pattern before booking.
