Public Holidays in Lithuania — 2026
There are 14 public holidays in Lithuania in 2026 — a middle-of-the-road calendar by international standards.
4 of them land on the Saturday + Sunday weekend, which leaves 10 genuine days off work.
The dates are spread fairly evenly — 7 before July and 7 after it — with December the busiest month.
The longest dry spell runs 78 days, from Saturday, August 15, 2026 to Sunday, November 1, 2026; that is the stretch worth spending annual leave on.
6 holiday(s) sit next to the weekend, and 1 single bridge day(s) could turn into a four-day break.
Lithuania sits in Northern Europe, is run from Vilnius, pays in Euro, and has about 2.7M people planning around these same dates.
