How Public Holidays Are Confirmed in Monaco
Monaco publishes an official annual list of paid non-working public holidays through the Journal de Monaco. Circular No. 2025-8 of 1 October 2025 provides the complete official schedule for 2026.
The circular was published on 10 October 2025 and specifies the holiday name, weekday and calendar date for each paid non-working holiday. This annual government notification is the primary source for Monaco's 2026 public-holiday calendar.
Saint Devota's Day in Monaco
Saint Devota's Day is observed on January 27 and is one of Monaco's distinctive national public holidays. Saint Devota is the patron saint of Monaco, and the day appears in the official 2026 list of paid non-working holidays.
The Monaco Government's public-service calendar also identifies January 27, 2026 as Saint Devota's Day.
Religious Public Holidays in Monaco
Several of Monaco's nationwide public holidays follow the Christian calendar. In 2026 these include Easter Monday, Ascension Day, Whit Monday, Corpus Christi, Assumption Day, All Saints' Day, the Immaculate Conception and Christmas Day.
Some of these dates move from year to year. Easter Monday falls on April 6 in 2026, Ascension Day on May 14, Whit Monday on May 25 and Corpus Christi on June 4.
All Saints' Day Observance in 2026
All Saints' Day requires special treatment in Monaco's 2026 calendar. The statutory feast day falls on Sunday, November 1, 2026, but the official annual circular specifically transfers the paid non-working holiday to Monday, November 2.
For practical holiday-calendar purposes, November 2 is therefore the official observed public-holiday date in 2026. The Sunday date should not be added as a second nationwide holiday in the VisaBoards database because the government circular explicitly identifies Monday as the transferred day.
H.S.H. the Sovereign Prince's Day
H.S.H. the Sovereign Prince's Day is observed on November 19. It is one of Monaco's principal national occasions and is listed as a paid non-working holiday in the official 2026 government calendar.
Unlike movable religious holidays, Sovereign Prince's Day remains fixed on November 19.
Are Public Holidays Paid in Monaco?
Monaco's official holiday circular describes the listed dates as jours chômés et payés, meaning paid non-working days. Separate labour circulars also confirm the legal status of individual holidays and explain the employment rules applying to employees.
For example, official labour notices describe New Year's Day as a legal public holiday that is non-working and paid for employees regardless of their method of remuneration.
What Happens When a Public Holiday Falls on a Weekend in Monaco?
A public holiday falling on a weekend should not automatically be assumed to move to Monday. The official annual calendar should be checked for a specific transfer or observed-day arrangement.
The clearest 2026 example is All Saints' Day. Because November 1 falls on Sunday, the official calendar expressly transfers the holiday to Monday, November 2. By contrast, Assumption Day falls on Saturday, August 15 and remains listed on August 15 in the official annual calendar.
Long Weekends in Monaco in 2026
Several Monaco public holidays create long weekends in 2026 for people working a standard Monday-to-Friday schedule.
- Easter Monday: Monday, April 6 follows the weekend.
- Labour Day: Friday, May 1 creates a three-day weekend.
- Whit Monday: Monday, May 25 follows the weekend.
- All Saints' Day – Observed: Monday, November 2 follows the weekend.
- Christmas Day: Friday, December 25 creates a three-day weekend.
Ascension Day and Corpus Christi both fall on Thursdays in 2026. Employees who independently use annual leave on the following Friday may be able to create a longer personal break, but those Fridays are not official nationwide public holidays.
