Vietnam 2026 public holiday guide
Vietnam’s public holidays include New Year’s Day, Tết (Lunar New Year), Hung Kings Commemoration Day, Liberation Day (30 April), Labour Day, and National Day (2 September). Tết is the clearest nationwide slowdown for factories, logistics, and government services.
Build buffer into supply chains around Tết. Late April to early May often forms a spring travel peak.
Confirm exact leave windows with official Vietnamese notices and your local partners.
Planning tips
- Finish shipments before Tết when possible.
- 30 April–1 May: busy spring getaway period.
- National Day: autumn short trips and ceremonies.

Cross-border planning notes
Vietnam’s Tết is the clearest manufacturing slowdown — plants often close longer than the official public days. It usually shares the lunar date with China’s Spring Festival but not the leave length.
