Indonesia’s Public Holidays for 2026
The government calls national holidays ‘tanggal merah’ – most offices, schools, banks, and businesses close nationwide. Collective leave days are mainly for public servants but many private companies follow them.

Notes for planning:
- Islamic holidays like Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Islamic New Year, and Mawlid are based on lunar sightings, so dates may shift slightly.
- Nyepi in Bali means the entire island shuts down – no flights, transport, or activities for 24 hours.
- Long weekends in 2026: 16-19 Jan, 14-17 May, 14-17 Aug, 24-27 Dec. Travel peaks around Eid al-Fitr in March.
