Singapore Public Holidays 2026
All Singapore public holidays 2026
Who celebrates each holiday
Singapore's public holidays follow five calendars: the Gregorian calendar for New Year, Labour Day, National Day and Christmas, the Chinese lunisolar calendar for Chinese New Year, the Islamic calendar for the two Hari Raya, and the Buddhist and Hindu lunar calendars for Vesak and Deepavali. Good Friday follows the date of Easter. MOM publishes each year's dates months in advance (the 2027 list came out on 18 June 2026), so the religious holidays are fixed long before the day, unlike countries that wait for a moon sighting.

Holidays on a weekend in 2026
7 of the 11 public holidays fall on a weekday in 2026. 3 fall on a Sunday, which adds a Monday holiday: Monday 1 June for Vesak Day, Monday 10 August for National Day, Monday 9 November for Deepavali. One falls on a Saturday (Hari Raya Puasa, 21 Mar). There is no automatic substitute weekday holiday for these Saturdays: if you work Monday to Friday and are covered by the Employment Act, each one gives you another day off or an extra day's salary at your gross rate of pay.

Questions
How many public holidays are there in Singapore in 2026?
There are 11 gazetted public holidays in 2026. Including the Monday holidays for those that fall on a Sunday, 10 holiday dates fall on weekdays.
When is Hari Raya Puasa 2026 in Singapore?
Saturday, 21 March 2026. It is a gazetted public holiday, so the date is final. MUIS (the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore) fixes it in advance by astronomical calculation for Singapore, which makes it one day after Saudi Arabia's Umm al-Qura calendar, which puts Eid ul-Fitr on Friday 20 March.
When is Hari Raya Haji 2026 in Singapore?
Wednesday, 27 May 2026, a gazetted public holiday. That is the same day as Saudi Arabia's Umm al-Qura calendar.
Is Chinese New Year 2026 a two-day holiday in Singapore?
Yes. The first and second days of Chinese New Year are both public holidays: Tuesday 17 February and Wednesday, 18 February 2026.
What happens when a public holiday falls on a weekend in Singapore?
If it falls on a Sunday (your rest day), the next working day is a paid public holiday, which is usually the Monday. If it falls on a Saturday and you work a 5-day week, Saturday is a non-working day, so the Employment Act gives you either another day off or one extra day's salary at the gross rate of pay. Employees not covered by the Employment Act follow their contract.
Do you get paid extra for working on a public holiday in Singapore?
If you are covered by the Employment Act and the public holiday falls on one of your normal working days, your employer pays you an extra day's salary at the basic rate of pay on top of your monthly salary. By mutual agreement you can take a replacement holiday on another working day instead. Different rules apply when the holiday falls on your rest day or non-working day: see MOM's public holiday pay rules.
When is Deepavali 2026 in Singapore?
Sunday, 8 November 2026. Singapore follows the South Indian (Tamil) almanac, which marks Deepavali on Naraka Chaturdashi.
Are these Singapore holiday dates official?
Dates marked Confirmed come from the official source listed below. Dates marked Expected follow the usual rules and are updated when the government announces the final dates.
