A long weekend is a weekend that is at least three days long (so, a three-day weekend), due to a holiday falling on either the Friday or Monday.
Most countries also feature many four-day weekends, in which two days adjoining the weekend are holidays. (Examples can include Easter Monday / Good Friday, and Christmas Day / Boxing Day.)
Further, in many nations, when a lone holiday occurs on a Tuesday or a Thursday, the gap between that day and the weekend may also be designated as a holiday, or set to be a movable or floating holiday, or indeed work/school may be avoided by consensus unofficially. This is typically referred to by a phrase involving "bridge" in most languages.
A special situation exists in France in some elementary schools, where there is no school on Wednesday: thus, any four-day weekend is essentially a "five-day weekend" for the kids and their teachers. Any four-day bridge, for example: Thursday (Holiday) and Friday (bridge day) for Ascension, is essentially a "five-day weekend" to some teachers.

In film and television:
Long Weekend (released on video in the U.S. as Nature's Grave) is a 2008 Australian psychological horror film and the remake of the 1978 Australian film Long Weekend. It was directed by Jamie Blanks.
Peter and Carla have a wasted marriage and constant friction. Peter buys expensive camping gear and, despite the protests of Carla, insists they travel with their dog Cricket to camp on the isolated Moondah Beach in the North Coast with his friend Luke and his girlfriend during the rainy holiday. Peter stops in a pub at the Eggleston Hotel and leaves a message for Luke with the owner of the pub. When Peter takes what he believes to be shortcut to the beach, he gets lost and the couple spends the night sleeping in their SUV. The next morning, Peter organizes the campsite and their intrusion into and abuse of the natural environment begins. During the two days, the couple's relationship deteriorates while the nature avenges the bad treatment the couple has inflicted upon it.
The Long Weekend is a 2005 Canadian film starring Chris Klein and Brendan Fehr as two brothers, Cooper (Klein) and Ed Waxman (Fehr). It also stars Chelan Simmons, Paul Campbell, Chandra West, and Cobie Smulders.
Cooper is an actor who sees life as one big party, while Ed is in advertising and takes life too seriously. When Ed gets stressed over a deadline he has to meet, Cooper works to get his brother hooked up with a girl, thus a long weekend of stress and beautiful women, culminating in Ed's meeting, and making love to, the woman of his dreams- and all without his brother's meddling.
The Long Weekend (O' Despair) is a 1989 American drama film directed by Gregg Araki. The film follows three couples, one gay, one lesbian and one heterosexual, spending a weekend together.
Araki shot The Long Weekend in black and white on a budget of $5,000.
The New York Times reviewer Vincent Canby congratulated Araki for making an attractive-appearing film on a minuscule budget but found the film hard to watch. Faulting the film's "extremely self-conscious, neo-sitcom dialogue", Canby felt that Araki's ingenuity as a filmmaker was not matched by his talent.
The Long Weekend (O' Despair) won the 1989 Los Angeles Film Critics Association Independent-Experimental Award.

What if everyday I woke up late
I did whatever I felt like?
I felt clever, I'd go on adventures
I'd run with lions in the dead of night
Wouldn't it be nice
To Saturdays and Sundays?
When I fall down
I know I've got this weekend to live
I'm gonna get my freak on
It carries me and we'll be rocking our playlist
I won't back down
I'll live it up like Hendricks
Now I'll paint my face just like his
Let's own this town
It's all about the weekend
So let's get down
It's time to flaunt our innocence
Try new things that don't make sense
Or maybe just hang out with friends
I can wait a lifetime or I could lose a lifetime
If I don't change my ways, get out of this rat race
We could do this right
To Saturdays and Sundays
When I fall down
I know I've got this weekend to live
I'm gonna get my freak on
It carries me and we'll be rocking our playlist
I won't back down
I'll live it up like Hendricks
Now I'll paint my face just like his
Let's own this town
It's all about the weekend
It's all about the weekend
So let's get down
Get down, get down
Wouldn't it be nice
To Saturdays and Sundays?
When I fall down
I know I've got this weekend to live
I'm gonna get my freak on
It carries me and we'll be rocking our playlist
When I fall down
I know I've got this weekend to live
I'm gonna get my freak on
It carries me and we'll be rocking our playlist
I won't back down
I'll rock out like Nirvana
Now we time lose like Madonna
It carries me
It's all about the weekend
It's all about the weekend
So let's get down
Let's get down
Let's get down
