In 2026 it falls on a Friday; in 2027 it’s on Saturday 20 November, and in 2028 on Monday 20 November. Because it’s a Friday this time, wherever it’s a day off it makes a long weekend of at least three days. Also in November 2026: World Children’s Day (20 Nov), National Peanut Butter Fudge Day (20 Nov) and Revolution Day (Mexico) (20 Nov). From this page you can add it to your calendar, get an email before it, share the countdown, or show it full screen.
