All Saints' Day – Belgium

The next All Saints' Day is on Sunday, November 1, 2026 – in 47 days.

All Saints' Day on November 1 honours all saints and is a public holiday in France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Austria, Poland, Portugal and parts of Germany and Switzerland. In Belgium it's a public holiday, so schools, government offices and most businesses close.

When is it? All Saints' Day falls on the same date every year, November 1. The date itself never changes, but the day of the week does, and that decides whether you get a long weekend out of it. Next time round is Sunday, November 1, 2026, 47 days from now.

Which weekday does it land on? Across the eleven years in the table, All Saints' Day lands twice on a Saturday, twice on a Thursday, twice on a Wednesday and twice on a Monday. In three of those it sits next to a weekend, turning it into a three-day break. Those are the years to book early. You can open the printable calendar for any year in the table and see the date in context.

What to expect on the day. Banks, government offices and schools close. Supermarkets and larger shops usually open on reduced hours, smaller independents often don't bother, and public transport tends to run a Sunday timetable. Post isn't collected or delivered. If you need something from a council, a bank or a doctor's surgery, the working day before it is the one to aim for, and it will be busier than usual for exactly that reason. In 2026 it falls in November, which also holds All Souls' Day on the 2nd and Armistice Day on the 11th. Worth seeing them together before you commit to dates.

Putting it in your own calendar. You don't need to. Every calendar on this site already shows All Saints' Day for whichever country you've selected. What's worth adding is everything around it: the travel, the cover arrangements, who's visiting when. Open the month, click the days and type. Keep a free account and the notes stay with you between devices, and you can send someone a read-only link so you're both working from the same dates.
