As we close off 2019, it’s important to both reflect on the past year and to look forward - but more specifically, look forward to all the long weekends we can expect in 2020. We are after all, Trinis.
In 2020, if you plan ahead and strategically take your days off from work, you can fully take advantage of nine (9) possible long weekends. For instance, two (2) public holidays (Corpus Christi and Republic Day) will fall on a Thursday, which means it’s up to you if you show up to work the next day to impress your Boss - or decide to create a pair of epic 4-day long weekends. However, not everyone will be able to pull this off and so most of us can reasonably look forward to at least six (6) confirmed long weekends (including Carnival). The exact date for Eid al-Fitr will be determined in May 2020, but it appears it may lead to another long weekend. Below are all nine (9) possible long weekends in 2020:
BONUS: New Year’s Day falls on Friday 1st January 2021, setting up the first long weekend for that year.
According to the Public Holidays and Festivals Act 19:05: Where a public holiday falls on a Sunday or where two public holidays fall on the same day, the next following day that is not a public holiday shall be a public holiday.
It’s not all good news in 2020. There could of been four (4) additional public holidays, all of which unfortunately fall on Saturdays and will therefore not count as public holidays:
