  1. Read the 2026 table: date, weekday, holiday name and any observed day the official list gives. Past dates are greyed out and the next holiday is highlighted.
  2. Click Add to calendar on a year to download an .ics file with every date as an all-day event, then open it in Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar.
  3. Planning pay? Note which holidays fall on days your staff normally work; those are the ones that attract holiday pay or a premium. The free tools below do the arithmetic.

Are the 2027 public holidays for Trinidad & Tobago published yet?

Not on the official source we track. We check Public Holidays and Festivals Act (laws.gov.tt) with the 2026 Legal Notices on printery.gov.tt and add the 2027 list, with a calendar download, as soon as it is published. The 2026 dates on this page are the latest official list.

What happens when a public holiday falls on a Sunday or Saturday in Trinidad & Tobago?

The official source states: Public Holidays and Festivals Act s.3(2): 'Where a public holiday falls on a Sunday or where two public holidays fall on the same day, the next following day that (apart from this subsection) is not a public holiday shall be a public holiday.' No provision for Saturdays. In 2026 this applies to Divali (8 November 2026, observed 9 November 2026).

Can I add the Trinidad & Tobago public holidays to my calendar?

Yes. Each year on this page has an Add to calendar button that builds an .ics file in your browser with every holiday as an all-day event, so it imports into Google Calendar, Outlook or Apple Calendar. Nothing is sent to our servers.

Do I get paid extra for working on a public holiday in Trinidad & Tobago?

That is set by the labour law and your contract, not by the holiday list. A common set-up is a paid day off, with a premium or a day in lieu when you work the holiday. Our public holiday pay guide explains the usual arrangements with worked examples; confirm the rule for your workplace with the labour department or payroll.

Free to use, works in your browser, nothing is sent to our servers. Figures are for guidance only: pay rules are set by each country's law and by your contract, so check anything that matters with your labour department or payroll.
