In 2027, New Year's Day, Good Friday, Hari Raya Haji and National Day already fall on a Friday or a Monday. Chinese New Year falls on the weekend, and the Ministry of Manpower says Monday 8 February 2027 is a public holiday if your rest day falls on Sunday 7 February.
The Ministry of Manpower published the 11 gazetted public holidays for 2027 on 18 June 2026. The "for a trip" column is our reading of the weekday, so you can see which dates are already a long weekend.
| Date | Day | Holiday | For a trip |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Jan 2027 | Friday | New Year's Day | Friday to Sunday is already a long weekend. |
| 6 Feb 2027 | Saturday | Chinese New Year | Saturday and Sunday are the holiday weekend. |
| 7 Feb 2027 | Sunday | Chinese New Year | MOM says Monday 8 Feb 2027 is a public holiday if your rest day falls on this Sunday. |
| 10 Mar 2027 | Wednesday | Hari Raya Puasa | A Wednesday. Leave on the days beside it stretches the break. |
| 26 Mar 2027 | Friday | Good Friday | Friday to Sunday is already a long weekend. |
| 1 May 2027 | Saturday | Labour Day | The holiday falls on Saturday. |
| 17 May 2027 | Monday | Hari Raya Haji | Saturday to Monday is already a long weekend. |
| 20 May 2027 | Thursday | Vesak Day | Take Friday 21 May off and the break runs Thursday to Sunday. |
| 9 Aug 2027 | Monday | National Day | Saturday to Monday is already a long weekend. |
| 28 Oct 2027 | Thursday | Deepavali | Take Friday 29 Oct off and the break runs Thursday to Sunday. |
| 25 Dec 2027 | Saturday | Christmas Day | The holiday falls on Saturday. |
Vesak Day is Thursday 20 May 2027. Deepavali is Thursday 28 Oct 2027. A day of leave on the Friday turns each of those into Thursday to Sunday. Hari Raya Puasa is Wednesday 10 Mar 2027, so it takes leave on the surrounding days to join a weekend.
The weekends many people share are when the cheaper seats go first: Chinese New Year, Good Friday, National Day, and the year-end holidays. If your dates are one of these, start watching the route a few months ahead and book a fare you are happy with. How to time the booking and how the month changes by route.
The Ministry of Education publishes school holidays apart from this list. Family routes are busier in school holidays even when the public holiday falls midweek. Check that calendar before you lock a mid-year or year-end trip.
The Ministry of Manpower lists 11 gazetted public holidays for 2027.
MOM says Monday 8 February 2027 is a public holiday if your rest day falls on Sunday 7 February 2027. Chinese New Year itself is Saturday 6 and Sunday 7 February 2027.
1 January, 26 March, 17 May and 9 August, plus the Chinese New Year weekend of 6 and 7 February. Monday 8 February applies if your rest day falls on the Sunday.
Start watching when the trip is decided. On dates many people share, book a fare you are willing to pay rather than waiting for a later dip.
