What is the official source for the 2026 Myanmar holiday calendar?
The official source is Myanmar Public Holidays 2026 — official notification under the Office Holidays and Negotiable Instruments Act (Gazetted 2026 public holidays per the Ministry of Labour notification (August 2025), cross-checked with the Embassy of Myanmar announcement. Eid al-Adha and Deepavali are announced separately once confirmed and are not yet included. Holidays falling on a weekend are not substituted. Kayin New Year falls outside calendar year 2026).
How long is the Thingyan holiday in Myanmar in 2026?
Nine consecutive days, from Saturday 11 April to Sunday 19 April 2026 — the longest break of the year. The block covers the Thingyan water festival days (13–16 April) and Myanmar New Year Day (17 April).
Where are Eid al-Adha and Deepavali in this Myanmar calendar?
The official notification states that the dates of Eid al-Adha and Deepavali are announced separately once confirmed against the religious calendars, so they are not yet in this list. Kayin (Karen) New Year is not a 2026 holiday at all — its lunar date falls outside the calendar year, with the next occurrence in early 2027.
