Planning around Lebanon holidays in 2026

  • Many holidays are based on lunar or religious calendars and may have varying dates each year.
  • Observe the start and end dates for Daylight Saving Time.
  • Some holidays may be observed differently by various religious communities.
  • Check specific dates for Islamic holidays, as they depend on lunar sightings.

Holiday patterns in 2026

The holiday calendar in Lebanon is notably dense in the spring months, particularly March, April, and May, due to the convergence of several major Christian and Islamic festivals, as well as national commemorations. This period sees a high concentration of observances.

The middle of the year, especially July, is remarkably quiet with no listed holidays. Following this, the latter half of the year features a more dispersed pattern of religious and national holidays, including significant Islamic observances and national days.

The year begins and ends with a few key holidays, including New Year's Day, Orthodox Christmas, and Christmas Day, providing distinct bookends to the calendar.
