Indonesia Public Holidays
Indonesia has 17 national public holidays in 2026, observed across the whole country. Over the years covered here the calendar draws on 17 recurring holidays. 5 sit on the same calendar date every year, while 12 move (Islamic (Hijri) calendar, Lunisolar calendar, Announced per year and Linked to Easter). The same calendar applies nationwide, with no separate regional public holidays in this dataset.
Which public holidays does Indonesia have?
Every recurring national public holiday, how its date is decided, and the date it lands on in 2025, 2026 and 2027. Dates are computed from the rule, so Easter-linked and moon-linked holidays are correct for each individual year.

Which Indonesian holidays are national and which are regional?
The 17 holidays above are national: they apply across Indonesia rather than in one area only. This dataset holds no separate sub-national calendar for Indonesia, so there is no regional layer to add. Individual towns and employers can still mark local days that are not national public holidays, and those are not covered here.
Which holidays move each year, and why?
12 of the 17 recurring holidays land on a different date each year. Here is the rule behind each group.
Same date every year (5)
The holiday is tied to one calendar date, so it lands on a different weekday each year but never changes date. In Indonesia this covers New Year's Day, Labour Day, Pancasila Day, Independence Day and Christmas Day.
Linked to Easter (3)
The date is counted from Easter Sunday, which is the Sunday after the first ecclesiastical full moon falling on or after 21 March, so it swings between late March and late April. In Indonesia this covers Good Friday, Easter Sunday and Ascension Day.
Islamic (Hijri) calendar (6)
The date follows the Hijri lunar calendar, which is about 11 days shorter than the Gregorian year, so the holiday moves roughly 11 days earlier each year. The final day is confirmed by moon sighting, so no future Hijri date is ever fully fixed and it can move by a day in either direction. In Indonesia this covers Laylat al-Mi'raj, End of Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr) (day 1), End of Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr) (day 2), Feast of the Sacrifice (Eid al-Adha) and Islamic New Year, plus 1 more.
Lunisolar calendar (1)
The date follows a lunisolar calendar (Chinese, Korean, Vietnamese or Bengali), where months track the moon and are realigned to the solar year, so the Gregorian date moves within a window of several weeks. In Indonesia this covers Chinese New Year.
Announced per year (2)
There is no repeating rule. The date is set for that single year by an official announcement, which is why it has to be confirmed year by year and why it cannot be projected far ahead. In Indonesia this covers Nyepi and Vesak Day.
Corrections applied to the Indonesia calendar
These dates start from the open date-holidays dataset, which is a good general source but is wrong or incomplete for a number of countries. Every departure from it is listed here with the law or official publication it was checked against, so you can verify it rather than trust it.

Frequently asked questions
How many public holidays does Indonesia have?
Indonesia has 17 national public holidays in 2026 and 18 in 2027. The total can differ from year to year because holidays that fall on a weekend sometimes gain a substitute day, and because moon-based and Easter-based dates occasionally shift in or out of a calendar year.
Which Indonesian public holidays fall on the same date every year?
Five of them: New Year's Day (January 1), Labour Day (May 1), Pancasila Day (June 1), Independence Day (August 17) and Christmas Day (December 25). These are pinned to a calendar date, so only the weekday changes from year to year.
Which public holidays in Indonesia change date each year?
12 do: Laylat al-Mi'raj, Chinese New Year, Nyepi, End of Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr) (day 1), End of Ramadan (Eid al-Fitr) (day 2) and Good Friday, plus 6 more. The reasons are islamic (hijri) calendar, lunisolar calendar, announced per year and linked to easter, so the Gregorian date has to be recalculated for every year rather than copied forward.
Are there regional public holidays in Indonesia?
This dataset has no separate regional calendar for Indonesia, so the national public holidays listed here apply countrywide. Individual towns can still observe local days that are not public holidays nationally.
What happens when a public holiday in Indonesia falls on a weekend?
This dataset records no substitute days for Indonesia, so every date listed here is the holiday itself rather than a replacement weekday. That is not the same as saying none is granted: a number of countries move a weekend holiday onto a working day under national labour law without that rule being captured in the underlying data, so check a local source whenever a holiday lands on a Saturday or Sunday.
Where do these Indonesian holiday dates come from?
The dates are computed per year from each holiday's own rule using the open date-holidays dataset. That dataset is wrong or incomplete for Indonesia, so one correction has been applied on top of it, each checked against the legislation or the official publication and listed further down this page with its source and the date it was checked.
How to use this page
Public holidays shape the working year in Indonesia, closing many offices, banks and public services and shifting the rhythm of travel and shopping. If you are scheduling a delivery, a launch or a meeting with a Indonesian team, the table at the top is the quickest check: it shows every recurring holiday side by side across 2025, 2026 and 2027, so you can see at a glance which dates are stable and which need looking up again next year. Where a holiday falls on a weekend and is taken on another day, it appears once, on the day off, with its calendar date beside it, so the totals here match the official ones rather than double counting.
For a single year with weekday counts and long weekends, open the year page for 2025, 2026 or 2027. To compare countries in one year, the 2026 worldwide overview lists every country we cover side by side. Dates come from the open date-holidays dataset and are recalculated per year from each holiday's rule, with 1 correction applied on top of it against the Indonesian legislation, listed above with sources. Always confirm official dates with a local authority before you commit to travel or contracts.
