2028 New Year (Jan 1, Sat) is observed early on Fri Dec 31, 2027.
A few festivals fall midweek in 2027
Not every holiday creates a long weekend in 2027. The Dragon Boat Festival (Jun 9) and Mid-Autumn Festival (Sep 15) both fall on a Wednesday, and Teachers’ Day (Sep 28) on a Tuesday, so each is a single day off with no bridge.
As in 2026, there are no make-up workdays — holidays on a Saturday move to the Friday before, and on a Sunday to the Monday after. A year-end bridge even pulls 2028’s New Year forward to Friday Dec 31, 2027.
