Vietnam public holidays 2026
This page lists Vietnam's 2026 public holidays — including the 5-day Tết break (Feb 16–20), the compensatory day on April 27 and the new Vietnam Culture Day (Nov 24) — with public-sector swapped days marked. Useful for planning cross-border meetings, shipping cutoffs and business communication so nothing lands on the other side's day off.
