About Islander Day 2026
Islander Day 2026 falls on Monday, February 16. It lands on a Monday, so 2026 brings a three-day weekend from Saturday, February 14.
Islander Day is Prince Edward Island's paid February holiday, held on the third Monday of the month — the same day as U.S. Presidents Day. It is a statutory holiday under PEI's Employment Standards Act, so most employees on the Island get the day off with pay.
