Vietnam Public Holidays 2025
Vietnam has 7 national public holidays in 2025, starting with New Year's Day on 1 January 2025 and ending with National Day on 2 September 2025. Three well placed days of leave buy 18 days away from work in 2025, because three holidays sit exactly one working day from a weekend.
2025 has ended. This page is kept as a record of what the calendar was. For dates you can still plan around, see Vietnam in 2026 or Vietnam in 2027.
Looking back: Vietnam observed seven national public holidays in 2025, the same number as in 2026. None of them fell on a Saturday or Sunday, so every one of them was a weekday off, against one in 2026. The calendar produced two long weekends that year, as many as 2026 gives.

When is New Year celebrated in Vietnam in 2025?

Are regional holidays included for Vietnam?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of Vietnam are listed separately on the Vietnam holiday hub, together with the regions that observe them.
Do the Vietnam holiday dates change from 2025 to the next year?
Some of them do. Three of the 7 holidays in 2025 sit on a moving rule (lunisolar calendar), 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 Vietnamese New Year Holidays on 28 January 2025, Vietnamese New Year on 29 January 2025 and Hung Kings Commemorations on 7 April 2025.
How far ahead is the Vietnam calendar actually fixed?
Through 2027. The holidays are set in law rather than announced year by year, so the dates repeat predictably. What can still change is a law amendment, a one-off holiday declared for a national event, and the exact day of any holiday on the Islamic calendar, which is confirmed by moon sighting. No corrections to the underlying dataset were needed for Vietnam.
Which Vietnam holidays are regional, and which move?
The table above is the national calendar for 2025. 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 Vietnam 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 2025 worldwide overview compares every country on holiday count and weekend overlap, and the country index ranks all 44 of them.
