Quebec Statutory Holidays 2026
Last reviewed: October 14, 2026 · Holiday data: August 25, 2026
The 2026 table for Quebec lists 8 dates: 8 fall on a weekday and none on a weekend. That leaves 253 working days in 2026. Like the Canada calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list.
How Quebec differs from the federal Canadian holidays
This calendar shows eight statutory holidays for Quebec, the same eight in 2026, 2027 and 2028. In place of Victoria Day, the same Monday is the Journée nationale des patriotes (18 May 2026, 24 May 2027, 22 May 2028), and the Fête nationale on 24 June is added. Good Friday is in the count. The federal National Day for Truth and Reconciliation, Remembrance Day and Boxing Day are not in the Quebec rows, so they are dropped from a Quebec count. No substitute weekday appears when a holiday falls on a Saturday: Christmas Day 2027, and New Year's Day, the Fête nationale and Canada Day in 2028, stay on their Saturday dates in this count and close no weekday.
