Public Holidays in Indonesia in [2026]

Are you living in Indonesia or planning a trip there in 2026? It helps to check the holiday calendar early, especially because Indonesia’s official schedule includes both national public holidays and separate collective leave days. The government’s 2026 joint decree sets 17 national public holidays and 8 collective leave days for the year.

In 2026, 11 of the 17 national public holidays fall on weekdays. That makes the calendar especially useful for planning work, travel, and long weekends across the year.

Whether you live in Indonesia or are just visiting, it is worth noting these dates in advance. On some of these days, offices, banks, schools, and smaller businesses may be closed or operate on reduced hours. Collective leave days can also affect opening times, even though they are not the same as public holidays.

Public holidays in Indonesia in 2026

The table below follows Indonesia’s official 2026 national holiday list under the SKB Tiga Menteri.

How many public holidays are observed in Indonesia?

Indonesia has 17 national public holidays in 2026 under the official joint ministerial decree. Those holidays cover religious, national, and civic observances across the year.

The same 2026 decree also sets 8 collective leave days. These are not additional national holidays in the legal sense, but they still matter for planning because many workplaces and services adjust around them.

The most popular holidays in Indonesia

A few holidays stand out more than others in everyday life. Eid al-Fitr is one of the biggest holiday periods of the year, especially when combined with collective leave. Christmas Day, Chinese New Year, and Nyepi are also widely recognized and can have a strong effect on travel and business schedules.

National dates such as Pancasila Day and Independence Day are also important parts of the public calendar. Together, they reflect Indonesia’s mix of religious and national observances.

Public holidays in Indonesia in 2027

Indonesia’s official government decree for 2027 was not available in the sources I found, so the 2027 table below is a planning table based on current holiday listings and projected calendar dates. Some Islamic holiday dates may still shift when officially confirmed.

Public holidays in Indonesia in 2028

The 2028 table below is also a planning table based on current holiday listings and projections rather than a released government decree. Some lunar-calendar holidays may still move when officially set.

Conclusion

Indonesia’s 2026 public holiday calendar is more detailed than the sample list because it includes 17 official national holidays across several religions and national observances. With the 2027 and 2028 planning tables included too, it is easier to look ahead for work, travel, and leave planning.
