Multi-Country Holiday Calendar

Check 2026 public holidays across 13 countries and regions

This site is a practical holiday reference for travelers, remote teams, and students. It covers 2026 public holidays for China, Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam, Indonesia, the Philippines, the United States, and the United Kingdom — with interfaces in English, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, and Japanese.

Instead of a bare date table, you get a full-year calendar with holiday highlights plus a complete holiday list for the selected region. Use the left sidebar to switch countries and the top controls to change language. Dates are compiled from publicly available government notices and commonly published holiday schedules.

Tip: pick a country first, then use the yearly list below the calendar when you plan trips or team coverage. Always reconfirm critical travel or payroll decisions against the latest official local announcements.

The 2026 weeks that most often break a plan are mid-February (Lunar New Year plus US Presidents’ Day), mid-April (Songkran), late April to early May (Golden Week and Labour Day), late September (Mid-Autumn, Chuseok and Japan’s silver week) and early October (China’s National Day). Long-form country pages and guides exist in English and Simplified Chinese. Traditional Chinese and Japanese use this hub with an in-page country switch so we do not publish dozens of near-duplicate URLs.

Each holiday is stored as a date plus a territory plus a name. 4 May 2026 is Labour Day in China, Greenery Day in Japan, a UK bank holiday and Coronation Day in Thailand — four records, not one slash-joined label. We leave faith-based and cabinet bridge days unmarked as final until the competent authority publishes them.

If you arrived from a search result looking for a single country, open the English country page rather than staying on this hub: the table and the essay there are filtered to that territory. The hub’s job is to show coverage across all thirteen markets and to point to the guides that explain mechanisms — tiaoxiu, substitute holidays, Lunar New Year length — that a date list cannot explain. Japanese Obon and many year-end factory shutdowns are conventions, not national holidays, and are not coloured as such on the calendar. Ads, when they appear, sit on the long country essays, not on this hub or on About, Privacy, Contact or the guides.

Why we built this

Cross-border teams often discover too late that a partner office is closed. We publish a clear 2026 calendar for thirteen markets, with original country notes and planning essays, and we keep the indexable URL set small enough that every page has a reason to exist. Operator: soulbeetroot@gmail.com.
