Are there any cases in which you don't use the definite articles before the days of the week ex. el lunes?

"Hoy es lunes." Today is Monday.
"Mañana es martes." Tomorrow is Tuesday.
When used with the days of the week, the definite article has the special meaning "on."
"No trabajo el lunes." I don't work on Monday.
"No trabajo los lunes." I don't work on Mondays.
"Hay una fiesta el miércoles." There is a party on Wednesday.
