Kapanlagi.com - 3 days before the turn of the year, public attention begins to focus on the 2026 calendar filled with a series of national holidays, joint leave days, and several long weekends. The moment of the year-end transition is often used to plan family agendas, travel, and mark important dates related to holidays.

2026 will be one of the years with a relatively long holiday composition, making topics related to long weekends in 2026, public holidays in 2026, and the 2026 holiday schedule a focus as the year comes to a close. The government has previously announced the establishment of 17 national holidays and 8 joint leave days through a Joint Decision Letter (SKB) from three ministers: the Minister of Religion, the Minister of Administrative and Bureaucratic Reform, and the Minister of Manpower.

This decision ensures the availability of a series of holidays connected to weekends, including the long holiday for Eid al-Fitr and several strategic long weekends at the beginning, middle, and end of the year. With this official schedule, the 2026 calendar is guaranteed to have many holiday moments that the public can take advantage of throughout the year.
