Many Pakistanis will enjoy a three-day weekend next month as Independence Day falls on a Friday. According to the 2026 calendar, August 14 will be observed as a public holiday across the country.
Employees of government and private offices that operate five days a week, along with students at educational institutions following a Monday-to-Friday schedule, will also have Saturday and Sunday off, giving them three consecutive holidays.
However, the long weekend will not apply to everyone. Employees and students at offices and educational institutions that operate six days a week, from Monday to Saturday, will return to work on Saturday after the public holiday on Friday. As a result, they will not receive three consecutive days off.
Pakistan celebrates Independence Day every year on August 14 with flag-hoisting ceremonies, cultural events, and other festivities across the country. This year’s calendar offers a long weekend for millions of Pakistanis who follow a five-day work or academic schedule.
