Whether you’re planning a holiday getaway, scheduling important family events or mapping out your annual leave, it’s never too early to mark down Singapore’s public holidays for 2027.
The Ministry of Manpower (MOM) has announced the 11 gazetted public holidays for 2027, giving workers an early opportunity to organise their work and personal commitments.
| Holiday | Date | Day |
| New Year’s Day | 1 January 2027 | Friday |
| Chinese New Year | 6 February 2027 | Saturday |
| 7 February 2027* | Sunday | |
| Hari Raya Puasa | 10 March 2027 | Wednesday |
| Good Friday | 26 March 2027 | Friday |

*Monday, 8 February 2027, will be a public holiday.
Among the dates to note are New Year’s Day on 1 January (Friday), Good Friday on 26 March (Friday) and National Day on 9 August (Monday), which naturally create long weekends without the need for additional leave.
Chinese New Year falls on 6 and 7 February. As the second day falls on a Sunday, Monday, 8 February, will be observed as a public holiday.
Workers can also look forward to several mid-week breaks, including Hari Raya Puasa on 10 March (Wednesday), Hari Raya Haji on 17 May (Monday), Vesak Day on 20 May (Thursday) and Deepavali on 28 October (Thursday).
Payment for Work Done on a Public Holiday
Employees covered under the Employment Act (EA) are entitled to 11 paid public holidays each year.
Employers and employees may also mutually agree to substitute a public holiday for another working day.
More information on public holiday provisions under the EA can be found at MOM’s website.
