National Heroes Day is a public holiday in Jamaica.

In 2026 it falls on a Monday; in 2027 it’s on Monday 18 October, and in 2028 on Monday 16 October. Because it’s a Monday this time, wherever it’s a day off it makes a long weekend of at least three days. Also in October 2026: Oxfordshire(Oxfordshire Day) (19 Oct), World Polio Day (19 Oct) and National Brandied Fruit Day (20 Oct). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.
