Cambodia Public Holidays 2026

In 2026, Cambodia observes 15 public holidays, beginning with New Year on January 1 and ending with Peace Day on December 29. These are official days on which government offices, banks, schools, and most businesses are closed.

Holidays here include a mix of fixed dates (such as New Year's Day and national independence days) and variable dates (such as religious holidays that follow lunar or ecclesiastical calendars). Variable holidays may shift by 1–2 days from year to year.

Cambodia long held the record for the most public holidays in the world; even after the government trimmed the list in 2020, it remains among the global leaders. When a holiday falls on a weekend, the next working day is taken off in lieu, and multi-day festivals like Pchum Ben and Khmer New Year close the country for three days at a stretch.
