February 2027
No — no state or territory has a February long weekend in 2027, though one part of the country does.
No jurisdiction has a statewide public holiday that makes a long weekend in February 2027. 6–8 February is a long weekend in part of TAS (Royal Hobart Regatta). The nearest: before, 1–3 January in every state and territory; after, 27 February–1 March in WA.

Long weekends only part of a state gets
The table above answers for whole states, because a holiday that covers one district is not a state's long weekend. But it is still a long weekend for the people it covers — and in February 2027 there is one.

| 6–8 February Royal Hobart Regatta | TAS southern Tasmania — south of and including Oatlands and Swansea, excluding the West Coast |
Public holidays in February that make no long weekend
A public holiday only makes a long weekend when it lands beside one. This is the one that does not in February 2027 — the answer to "but we have a holiday that month".
- Launceston Cup, Wednesday 24 February — TAS. A Wednesday leaves a working day between it and the weekend either side. It covers only the northern municipalities, for the Tasmanian State Service and others outside the national workplace relations system.
February 2028
No state or territory that has published 2028 has a statewide long weekend in February 2028. 12–14 February is a long weekend in part of TAS (Royal Hobart Regatta). NSW and WA have not published 2028 yet.
How these are worked out
Three or more days in a row with no working day in the middle, worked out from each state and territory's published dates — so a public holiday landing on a Saturday does not make one by itself, and February's answer differs by state because the underlying Acts do. How a long weekend is counted here, including what happens to part-days and district holidays.
