                          About Public Holidays in Kazakhstan

                          Kazakhstan marks Nauryz (the Persian-rooted spring equinox festival, March 21-23) as a three-day national holiday, alongside a separate, more recent Independence Day (December 16, from the Soviet Union in 1991) and the First President's Day (December 1), the latter a distinctly post-Soviet Central Asian addition honoring the country's founding head of state.

                          Frequently Asked Questions

                          How many public holidays are there in Kazakhstan?

                          Kazakhstan has 18 public holidays in 2027, 5 more than the global average of 13.

                          Which Kazakhstan public holidays fall on a weekend in 2027?

                          4 public holidays fall on a weekend in Kazakhstan in 2027: New Year's Day (Saturday, January 2), Nauryz (Sunday, March 21), People's Unity Day (Saturday, May 1), Victory Day (Sunday, May 9). Kazakhstan moves weekend holidays to the following working day, so these are not lost.

                          Does Kazakhstan give a day off when a holiday falls on a weekend?

                          It depends — Kazakhstan moves some public holidays that fall on a weekend to the next working day, but not all of them.

                          What is the longest break possible in Kazakhstan in 2027?

                          4 consecutive days off in Kazakhstan in 2027, January 7–January 10, by booking 1 day of leave.

                          When is the next public holiday in Kazakhstan?

                          The next public holiday in Kazakhstan is Республика күні (Republic Day) on October 25, 2026.

                          Which holidays in Kazakhstan change date each year?

                          Eid al-Adha does not fall on the same date every year in Kazakhstan, since it is set by a lunar or other variable calendar rather than a fixed date.
