The 2026 national holidays are highly anticipated because they provide a break in the middle of routines while commemorating historic moments, such as Pancasila Day and Independence Day.
Based on the Joint Decree (SKB) of 3 Ministers, the year 2026 will have 17 national holidays and 8 collective leave days, with several holidays falling close to weekends. This regulation allows many workers and students to enjoy longer breaks, including a total of 9 long weekends that can be used for homecoming trips or vacations.

Difference Between Public Holidays and Collective Leave for Workers
Before planning vacations, it’s important to understand the difference between public holidays and collective leave.
Public holidays are automatic leave days for all workers, both private and government employees. Meanwhile, collective leave is not always mandatory leave for private-sector workers — it depends on company regulations and usually deducts annual leave.
According to Ministry of Manpower Circular Letter No. M/6/HK.04/XII/2024 of 2024, collective leave is part of annual leave and its implementation must be agreed upon between employers and employees. In summary:
| Type of Worker | Public Holidays | Collective Leave |
|---|---|---|
| Private Workers | Automatically off | Depends on company policies, usually deducts annual leave but not mandatory |
| Government Employees (ASN) | Automatically off | Usually mandatory without deducting annual leave |
| Retail/Hospitality Workers | Often still required to work, usually receive overtime | Rarely applied, depends on company policies |
These are the complete 2026 national holidays, from collective leave to long weekends that you can use as a reference to plan vacations, homecoming trips, or simply to relax amidst busy schedules.
