Q: How many days are between Columbus Day and St. Patrick's Day?

156 days. Columbus Day falls on Monday, October 12, 2026 and St. Patrick's Day on Wednesday, March 17, 2027, which is 156 days later — 22 weeks and 2 days, or 112 business days counting Monday to Friday only. The first day is not counted and the last one is, the same way a calendar counts a stay. Both dates are fixed, so the gap is the same every year apart from leap-year shifts in the weekdays.
