Hari Ulang Tahun Kemerdekaan Republik Indonesia
Independence Day
Monday, 17 Aug 2026 · Indonesia · Nationwide · Public holiday
Bridge day check
Falls on a Monday, so it makes a three-day weekend with no leave needed.
What the day is for
Hari Kemerdekaan marks Sukarno's 1945 proclamation. The flag-raising at the presidential palace is broadcast nationally, and every neighbourhood runs its own lomba — sack races, panjat pinang greased-pole climbs, krupuk-eating contests — through the day.
Do shops and banks close?
National holiday; offices, banks and schools close. Street stalls and malls do heavy trade.
Getting around
Normal services with street closures in every kampung for the games and ceremonies.
When it falls each year
Floating holidays shift; fixed ones move only in which weekday they land on.
