About Us
Finding reliable public holiday information should be simple. Yet many calendars remain outdated, difficult to read, or unclear about whether a date has been officially confirmed. We created this website to solve that problem and give people one dependable place to check upcoming public holidays.
Last updated: 4 September 2026
Our website covers public holiday dates across Singapore. Whether you are planning annual leave, arranging a long weekend, organizing business operations, checking a possible bank closure, or preparing a family trip, our aim is to provide the information you need without
About Us in one line: we are a small independent team based in Singapore who got tired of chasing scattered, outdated, or conflicting public holiday information across government pages, forums, and news articles. So we built one clear reference instead. Every date on this site is checked against official announcements before it is published, and every page is written in plain language so you do not need to decode a government circular just to plan a long weekend, a school break, or a business closure. We update pages as soon as new official confirmations are released, and we revisit older estimates the moment a government body finalises a date.
Whether you are an employee checking your entitlements, an HR team planning the year ahead, a parent tracking school holidays, or a traveller booking flights around a long weekend, our goal stays the same: give you one dependable page that answers the question correctly the first time, with the reasoning and official source behind it, not just a bare date on a calendar.

About Us: More Than Holiday Dates
A public holiday is more than a day away from work. Every holiday has a reason behind it. Some commemorate important events in a country’s history, while others come from cultural traditions, religious observances, national celebrations, or legislation.
That is why we do more than publish dates. Our holiday guides explain the history, meaning, and traditions connected with major national and religious holidays. Where relevant, we also cover how a holiday is observed, whether businesses or banks usually close, and how the date may affect travel or work schedules.
Readers looking for academic term dates and family planning information can also visit our school holiday calendars.
How We Check Our Information
Accuracy is the most important part of a useful public holiday calendar. Holiday dates can change when governments issue new announcements, confirm religious dates, declare one-off national holidays, or explain how holidays falling on weekends will be observed. We cross-check every date against official government sources, including the Ministry of Manpower, before publishing or updating a page.
We also monitor MOM circulars, official gazette notices, and school calendar releases from MOE year-round, so that when a provisional date is confirmed or revised, we can update the relevant page within a day rather than leaving outdated information live. This is an ongoing process, not a one-time setup, because holiday rules and dates can genuinely change from year to year. That is simply how we operate, day in and day out. This commitment to accuracy is central to About Us as a project.
Help Us Keep It Accurate
Public holiday information occasionally changes at short notice. If you notice an incorrect date, a missing holiday, or an announcement that we have not yet included, please contact us.
When sending a correction, include the holiday name, year, page URL, and official source whenever possible. We will review the information and update the relevant page if needed.
Thank you for trusting Public Holidays to help you understand and plan around the days that matter.
