Dates as of Monday, September 28, 2026. Source: the open-source holidays library, version 0.105.How 2026 falls in Vietnam
Counting Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, 11 of the 11 holiday dates in 2026 fall on a working day and none on a weekend.
Counting Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, 11 of the 11 holiday dates in 2026 fall on a working day and none on a weekend. The most common weekday for a holiday is Thursday, with 3 dates.
Four of the 11 dates land on a Monday or Friday, next to the weekend, so they make a long weekend without using any leave: Lunar New Year's Eve on Monday, February 16, Fourth Day of Lunar New Year on Friday, February 20, Hung Kings' Commemoration Day (observed) on Monday, April 27 and International Labor Day on Friday, May 1. Two more holidays sit one working day away from the weekend, so a single day of leave turns each into a four-day break: New Year's Day on Thursday, January 1 (take Friday off) and National Day on Tuesday, September 1 (take Monday off).
February is the busiest month, with 5 holiday dates. Seven months have no public holiday at all (March, June, July, August, October, November and December). The longest stretch between two holidays is 123 days, from International Labor Day on May 1 to National Day on September 1, the natural window for a longer break.
One entry is an observed, substitute or bridge day that moves a holiday onto a working day: Hung Kings' Commemoration Day (observed) on April 27.
2027 brings 13 public holidays, 2 holidays more than 2026. 11 of the 13 dates fall on a working day, and 7 land next to the weekend.
