Holidays in Singapore 2026
Last reviewed: October 14, 2026 · Holiday data: October 9, 2026
The Ministry of Manpower's list for 2026 has 11 public holidays. Vesak Day, National Day and Deepavali fall on a Sunday in 2026, and under section 4(2) of the Holidays Act 1998 the next day that is not itself a public holiday, each time the following Monday, becomes the public holiday. That leaves 251 working days on the Monday-to-Friday count, with 10 holidays on weekdays.
