Covered by this calendar
The 17 named general-holiday dates in the government’s 2026 gazette table. Every Sunday is also a general holiday under the source; this named-date export does not repeat the ordinary Sunday calendar.
- This is the general-holiday list, not the distinct Employment Ordinance statutory-holiday list or a personal paid-leave entitlement.
- Ordinary Sundays are a separate recurring general-holiday rule and are not duplicated among these 17 named entries.
- A Saturday named holiday is retained on Saturday. No Monday replacement is invented for 26 September or 26 December.
- School calendars, business opening hours, working rosters and dates outside 2026 are not inferred.
