Indonesia Public Holidays 2026
Indonesia has 17 national public holidays in 2026, starting with New Year's Day on 1 January 2026 and ending with Christmas Day on 25 December 2026. Five well placed days of leave buy 20 days away from work in 2026, because five holidays sit exactly one working day from a weekend.

Frequently asked questions

When is New Year celebrated in Indonesia in 2026?
In 2026, New Year's Day in Indonesia is on 1 January 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 16 January 2026, Chinese New Year on 17 February 2026 and Nyepi on 19 March 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.

Knowing the dates is half the question. The other half is what they add up to: which of them create a long weekend and how many working days the year leaves. The 2026 worldwide overview compares every country on holiday count and weekend overlap, and the country index ranks all 44 of them. The same figures are available as JSON, and the dates as a calendar file.
