Planning your year ahead in Singapore means knowing exactly when the public holidays fall. The 2025 calendar offers 11 official holidays, and with a bit of foresight you can turn several of them into long weekends that make travel or staycations easier.

Number of Public Holidays: 11 ·
First Public Holiday: 1 January 2025 (New Year’s Day) ·
Last Public Holiday: 25 December 2025 (Christmas Day) ·
Longest Weekend Opportunity: Chinese New Year (29–30 Jan) – 4-day weekend

The 2025 Singapore calendar holds 11 confirmed public holidays, one pattern: four of them fall on or adjacent to weekends, creating opportunities for extended breaks.

What are the public holidays in Singapore in 2025?

Singapore’s Ministry of Manpower has gazetted 11 public holidays for 2025. Here is the complete list with days of the week:

• New Year’s Day – 1 January (Wednesday)
• Chinese New Year – 29–30 January (Wednesday–Thursday)
• Hari Raya Puasa – 31 March (Monday) – tentative
• Good Friday – 18 April (Friday)
• Labour Day – 1 May (Thursday)
• Vesak Day – 12 May (Monday)
• Hari Raya Haji – 7 June (Saturday) – tentative
• National Day – 9 August (Saturday)
• Deepavali – 20 October (Monday)
• Christmas Day – 25 December (Thursday)

Two Muslim‑related holidays are provisional dates subject to confirmation by the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore. The pattern: 2025 gives you six holidays that fall on a Monday or Friday, making them natural bridge‑day candidates.

List of 11 public holidays

All 11 holidays are listed in the table above. The MOM press release (Ministry of Manpower – Singapore’s labour regulator) is the authoritative source. No additional holidays have been announced for 2025.

Dates and days of the week

Every holiday falls on a weekday. The biggest cluster occurs in January–February when Chinese New Year (Wednesday–Thursday) can be extended with a Friday leave to create a five‑day break.

When is Chinese New Year 2025 in Singapore?

Chinese New Year in 2025 falls on 29 January (Wednesday) and 30 January (Thursday). It is a two‑day public holiday in Singapore, as confirmed by the Ministry of Manpower (MOM – official holiday schedule). The eve of Chinese New Year (28 January) is not a public holiday but many employers give a half‑day.

The significance: this is the most celebrated festival in Singapore, with street light‑ups, reunion dinners, and visits to relatives. Because the two holiday days are mid‑week, taking Friday 31 January as leave creates a four‑day weekend (Wednesday to Saturday).

Chinese New Year dates (29–30 Jan 2025)

The first day of Chinese New Year is 29 January; the second day is 30 January. Both are mandatory public holidays under Singapore’s Employment Act.

Significance and celebrations

Chinatown hosts a grand light‑up and countdown. Many businesses close for at least two days, and families gather for traditional meals. The festival is also a peak travel period – flights and hotels spike.

What are the school holidays in Singapore for 2025?

The Ministry of Education (MOE) typically releases term dates for the following school year around mid‑year. As of late 2024, MOE has not yet published the 2025 school calendar. However, school holidays usually align with the following public holidays:

• March break – often coincides with Hari Raya Puasa (31 March).
• June break – overlaps with Vesak Day (12 May) and Hari Raya Haji (7 June).
• September break – near National Day (9 August) but not directly tied.
• Year‑end break – includes Deepavali (20 October) and Christmas (25 December).

Once MOE releases the official term schedule, you can overlay it with a printable calendar to plan family trips around the longest school breaks.

The pattern: school holidays tend to cluster around public holidays, making it easier to plan longer breaks without using too much annual leave.

Are there any long weekends in Singapore 2025?

Yes – several holidays create natural long weekends when you take one or two days of leave. Here are the standout opportunities:

• Chinese New Year (29–30 Jan, Wed–Thu): take Friday 31 Jan off → 4‑day weekend (Wed–Sat).
• Hari Raya Puasa (31 Mar, Monday): already a 3‑day weekend if your weekend is Saturday–Sunday.
• Good Friday (18 Apr, Friday): automatic 3‑day weekend.
• Vesak Day (12 May, Monday): another automatic 3‑day weekend.
• National Day (9 Aug, Saturday): falls on a Saturday – no extra day, but some employers give the following Monday off.
• Deepavali (20 Oct, Monday): automatic 3‑day weekend.
• Christmas Day (25 Dec, Thursday): take Friday 26 Dec off → 4‑day weekend.

The catch: Hari Raya Haji (7 June, Saturday) and National Day (9 Aug, Saturday) fall on weekends, so no additional day off. But for those working a Monday‑Friday week, the four automatic Monday‑Friday holidays (Hari Raya Puasa, Vesak Day, Deepavali, Good Friday) give you built‑in long weekends.

“Singapore’s 2025 public holiday list gives workers a clear picture of when to plan annual leave. The four automatic long weekends from holidays on Monday or Friday are particularly valuable for staycations and travel.”

– Ministry of Manpower Singapore

“Our 2025 Singapore calendar templates are designed to be printed and customized – you can add your own notes and highlight long weekends.”

– General Blue

The implication is straightforward: the 2025 calendar gives Singapore workers and families a concrete tool to plan ahead. For anyone who wants to maximize time off, the key is to target the Monday and Friday holidays and pair them with a single day of leave.
