Long weekends in Niger, 2025
Niger has 1 break of three consecutive non-working days or more in 2025, each one created by a public holiday rather than by the weekend alone.
Every break, longest first
| From | To | Days | Holiday behind it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sat, 19 Apr | Mon, 21 Apr | 3 | Easter Monday |
Bridge days
Each of these is a single working day with a holiday on one side and a non-working day on the other. One day of leave turns it into a break of four days or more, which is why these dates empty out even though nobody is formally off.
| Date | Day | Adjacent holiday |
|---|---|---|
| Fri, 25 Apr 2025 | Friday | Concord Day |
| Fri, 2 May 2025 | Friday | Labour Day |
| Fri, 19 Dec 2025 | Friday | Nigerien Republic Day |
| Fri, 26 Dec 2025 | Friday | Christmas Day |
Taking all 4 bridge days costs 4 days of leave and produces 4 breaks of at least four consecutive days. That is the cheapest time off available in the 2025 calendar, and it is also why these are the first dates to be booked out.
How these are worked out
Every day of 2025 is classified as working or non-working using Niger's own weekend pattern and its nationwide public holidays. Consecutive non-working days are then grouped into runs, and any run of three days or more that contains at least one public holiday is listed above. Runs made of a weekend alone are excluded, since a two day weekend is not a long weekend.
Regional holidays are not included. In countries where regions set their own dates, the real picture locally can be better than the one shown here, sometimes considerably.
