Singapore 2026 public holiday guide
Singapore’s public holidays reflect a multicultural calendar: New Year’s Day, Chinese New Year, Good Friday, Labour Day, Vesak Day, Hari Raya Puasa, Hari Raya Haji, National Day, Deepavali, and Christmas are typical. Chinese New Year is usually two days.
Islamic and Hindu holidays move each year. Around National Day (9 August), expect events and traffic controls in the civic district.
