1. November 1, 2024: Is It a Public Holiday?

Although welcoming the beginning of November on the 1st, unfortunately, that day does not bring good news for holiday seekers, as it is not included in the list of national public holidays or joint leave days.

Based on the Joint Decree (SKB) of 3 Ministers, the government has confirmed that this November is devoid of official holidays, making the 1st a regular working day that falls on a Friday.

For those who long for a long weekend, they must be patient and wait for Sunday as the only opportunity to rest.

2. Indonesian Innovation Day Commemoration on November 1

On November 1, Indonesia celebrates Indonesian Innovation Day, a special moment brought forth by Handi Irawan D, Chairman of the Tera Foundation, to awaken the spirit of innovation in the hearts of every individual and institution. The day is not merely a commemoration but a call for all elements of society to continue to create, especially in industry and technology.

With a strong historical root since the era of President Sukarno, when the National Research Affairs Department (Durenas) was established to strengthen domestic research, Indonesian Innovation Day serves as a call to make innovation a pillar of national progress.

3. History of Innovation and Technology in Indonesia

The trail of technological innovation in Indonesia began with the establishment of Durenas under the visionary leadership of Sujono Juned Pusponegoro, who emphasized the importance of developing research institutions and strengthening scientific capacity in the homeland. Over time, the role of technological research has strengthened, especially when BJ Habibie took the initiative to build a world-class Indonesian aircraft industry.

The pinnacle of this journey is marked by the birth of the first aircraft in Indonesia, a monumental achievement that demonstrates our nation's ability to compete in the global technology arena. Indonesia's Innovation Day also becomes a valuable moment to reflect on all the efforts and brilliant achievements that have been made.

4. World Vegan Day Celebration

November 1 is a special moment for plant lovers, as this day is celebrated as World Vegan Day! Since it was first initiated by Donald Watson and Elise Shrigley in England in 1944, this celebration aims to reduce the consumption of animal products and promote a healthy plant-based lifestyle.

Across the globe, various festive events are held, ranging from vegan product exhibitions, inspiring seminars on healthy eating, to special menu offerings in restaurants. In Indonesia, the spirit of World Vegan Day is also beginning to resonate with campaigns highlighting the health and environmental benefits of a vegan lifestyle. Let us celebrate the diversity and goodness offered by nature together!

5. November 2024 Weekend Holiday Calendar

Although November 2024 does not have any public holidays or joint leave days, don't worry! The community can still enjoy four weekend holidays that fall on every Sunday.

Mark the dates: November 3, 10, 17, and 24!

This is a golden opportunity for workers to recharge their energy and spend quality time with family. Take advantage of these precious moments to travel or simply relax, stepping away for a while from the hustle and bustle of a busy work routine!
