📰 News

The official holiday list for 2026 was announced by the government in late 2025 via the standard Joint Ministerial Decree. Several Islamic holidays are marked as tentative, as their exact dates depend on moon sightings closer to the event. The list highlights nine potential long weekend periods for the year.

💡 Insights

A common practice in the US is to create 'bridge days' by taking time off between a holiday and a weekend to extend a break. Calendars often distinguish between federal holidays and other cultural observances. The typical full-time work schedule is Monday to Friday, 9 AM to 5 PM, though flexible and remote work arrangements have become more common.
A common practice in Indonesia is the declaration of 'joint holidays' (cuti bersama) around major religious festivals like Idul Fitri, effectively extending the holiday period and creating long weekends. Many holidays are determined by lunar sightings, leading to tentative dates. The culture often involves strategic planning to combine these holidays with annual leave for extended breaks, known locally as 'mudik' during Idul Fitri.
A common practice in Indonesia is the creation of 'long weekends' when holidays fall near regular weekends, with the government sometimes declaring 'collective leave days' (cuti bersama) to bridge the gap. School holiday periods are often longer and are determined separately by local governments, extending beyond the national public holiday calendar.
