Which 2027 holidays create long weekends?
MLK Day, Presidents Day, Memorial Day, Labor Day and Columbus / Indigenous Peoples Day fall on Mondays, and Independence Day is observed Monday, July 5. Thanksgiving creates a four-day weekend. New Year's Day 2027 is a Friday, and New Year's Day 2028 is observed Friday, December 31, 2027.
What minimum stay should I set for holiday weekends?
Match it to the long weekend. A three-night minimum on a Monday holiday weekend keeps one-night bookings from breaking it up.
Pro tip: Price summer and winter holidays differently. A July long weekend at a lake and Presidents Day at the same lake are different weekends.
Which local events should I add to my 2027 calendar?
School breaks for the cities your guests drive from, festivals, races, graduations and conferences near you. These often move demand more than a national holiday.
When should I set 2027 holiday prices?
