Indonesia 2026 public holiday guide
Indonesia’s public holidays blend Islamic, Christian, Hindu, Buddhist, and national commemorations — including New Year’s Day, Nyepi, Good Friday, Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha, Independence Day (17 August), and Christmas. Lebaran (Eid al-Fitr) triggers a massive homecoming (mudik).
On Bali, Nyepi is a near-total day of silence. On Java and Sumatra, Eid logistics matter more for factories and shipping. Confirm plant calendars with local partners.
Faith-based dates move with the lunar Islamic calendar; recheck official notices for final planning.
Regional tips
- Eid al-Fitr: extreme transport demand.
- Nyepi: travel and lighting limits on Bali.
- Independence Day: nationwide ceremonies.
- Christmas: strong retail season in big cities.

Cross-border planning notes
Indonesia recognizes many faith-based holidays. Bali’s Nyepi is a near-total pause, while Java feels Eid homecoming (mudik) more in logistics. Manufacturers should buffer shipping around Lebaran.
