State Public Holidays 2026

In addition to national public holidays, Kelantan observes several state-specific public holidays that apply only within the state. These holidays are determined by state regulations and local observances, and they may differ from those in other parts of Malaysia.

Kelantan follows a Sunday–Thursday working week, which influences how public holidays and replacement days are observed. When a public holiday falls on a weekend or rest day, replacement arrangements are applied according to official state guidelines.

Public holidays in Kelantan generally apply to government offices, schools, and most workplaces across the state. However, operating hours and work arrangements may vary for certain sectors, particularly essential services, retail, and hospitality.

As public holiday dates and replacement rules may change following official announcements, it is recommended to refer to this page regularly when planning work schedules, school activities, or travel within Kelantan.

Public holiday dates may differ by state and year. To compare dates nationwide, view the Public Holidays Malaysia for 2026, or refer to the School Holidays Malaysia for 2026 for term-based planning.
