Upcoming holidays in Asia Pacific

All countries in Asia Pacific

About

Asia Pacific encompasses 37 countries, each with its own set of national and public holidays. Public holidays vary significantly across the region, reflecting different religious traditions, historical events, and cultural celebrations.

Many countries in Asia Pacific observe both internationally recognized holidays — such as New Year's Day and Labour Day — and locally unique commemorative days. Religious holidays are particularly significant and may follow lunar or other non-Gregorian calendars.

FAQ

Asia Pacific holiday questions

Why do Asia Pacific holiday calendars vary so much?

Are lunar new year holidays the same across Asia Pacific?

No. Lunar new year holidays are observed in several countries and territories, but dates, names, and the number of public holidays vary by location.
