Singapore’s public holidays in 2027 bring five long weekends

The annual drop we all look forward to yearly – yes, the public holiday list for 2027 is here, and Singapore is serving up five long weekends.

There will be a total of 11 public holidays in 2027, with several falling conveniently on Fridays and Mondays – this can only mean more opportunities for quick getaways and well-timed breaks.

The first long weekend arrives immediately when the new year hits, with New Year’s Day falling on Friday, January 1, 2027. Chinese New Year will bring an extended four-day break from February 6 to 8, as the second day of the holiday falls on a Sunday and will be observed on Monday, February 8. Good Friday (March 26), Hari Raya Haji (May 17), and National Day (August 9) complete the list of long weekends for the year.

Time Out Tip: Pay special attention to May. By taking annual leave on May 18 and 19, employees can bridge Hari Raya Haji on Monday, 17 May, and Vesak Day on Thursday, 20 May, creating a six-day break with just two days of leave. Labour Day and Christmas Day both land on Saturdays too, which means there’s a possible chance of off-in-lieu, while Deepavali falls on a Thursday, meaning taking the Friday off would give you a restful four-day break.
