Public Holidays in Vietnam — 2026
Vietnam keeps a short official calendar in 2026: 4 public holidays in total, so each one carries real weight for planning.
Every one of them falls on a working day this year, because none collide with the local Saturday + Sunday weekend.
The dates are spread fairly evenly — 3 before July and 1 after it — with January the busiest month.
The longest dry spell runs 124 days, from Friday, May 1, 2026 to Wednesday, September 2, 2026; that is the stretch worth spending annual leave on.
1 holiday(s) sit next to the weekend, and 1 single bridge day(s) could turn into a four-day break.
Vietnam sits in South-Eastern Asia, is run from Hanoi, pays in Dong, and has about 97.3M people planning around these same dates.
