Singapore Long Weekends 2027
The Ministry of Manpower gazetted the 2027 public holidays on 18 June 2026: 11 holidays, five of which fall on a Friday, Sunday or Monday and create three-day long weekends without annual leave. Two holidays land on a Friday (New Year’s Day, Good Friday), two on a Monday (Hari Raya Haji, National Day), and Chinese New Year’s Sunday second day rolls over to Monday Feb 8.

Five long weekends — and how to stretch them
2027 has one fewer long weekend than 2026 (six). The best leverage points: take Thursday–Friday Mar 11–12 after Hari Raya Puasa (Wed Mar 10) for a 5-day run, or bridge Vesak Day (Thu May 20) with a Friday leave day for 4 days — just three days after the Hari Raya Haji long weekend ends.
Three holidays fall on a Saturday in 2027 — Chinese New Year day 1 (Feb 6), Labour Day (May 1) and Christmas (Dec 25) — and Saturday holidays get no in-lieu day in Singapore, so plan around the five confirmed windows above.
