When is New Year celebrated in Indonesia in 2026?
In 2026, New Year's Day in Indonesia is on January 1, 2026.
Are regional holidays included for Indonesia?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of Indonesia are listed separately on the Indonesia holiday hub, together with the regions that observe them.
Do the Indonesia holiday dates change from 2026 to the next year?
Some of them do. 12 of the 17 holidays in 2026 sit on a moving rule (islamic (hijri) calendar, lunisolar calendar and announced per year, plus 1 more), so their date has to be recalculated for every year. The rest keep the same calendar date and only change weekday. Moving ones this year include Laylat al-Mi'raj on January 16, 2026, Chinese New Year on February 17, 2026 and Nyepi on March 19, 2026, plus 9 more.
How far ahead is the Indonesia calendar actually fixed?
Through 2026. Three ministries jointly issue the Surat Keputusan Bersama fixing national holidays and cuti bersama, collective leave, for one year at a time, so anything past that is computed from the rules in force rather than read off an official list. This table also applies 1 correction to the underlying open dataset, each checked against the legislation. The full list with sources is on the Indonesia holiday hub.
Which Indonesia holidays are regional, and which move?
The table above is the national calendar for 2026. Some holidays keep the same date every year while others are tied to Easter, to a lunar calendar or to a named weekday, and some parts of the country add their own days off. The Indonesia holiday hub breaks that down: which holidays are fixed, which move and why, and which ones are observed in certain regions only.
