Is 15 May 2026 a Holiday? Here is the Schedule of National Holidays and Collective Leave in May 2026

Today, Friday (15/5/2026), has been set as a collective leave day for the Ascension of Jesus Christ based on the 2026 national holidays and collective leave calendar. This provision refers to the Joint Decision of Three Ministers Number 1497 of 2025, Number 2 of 2025, and Number 5 of 2025 on National Holidays and Collective Leave for 2026. Accordingly, 15 May 2026 is an official government holiday as collective leave for the Ascension of Jesus Christ, applicable nationwide in Indonesia. The holiday on 15 May 2026 also forms part of a series of long weekends in May 2026. This combination allows the public to enjoy an extended break over several consecutive days in mid-May 2026. The government has previously set a total of national holidays and collective leave days throughout 2026, including six holidays outside weekends falling in May. The government has also designated two collective leave days in May 2026, namely: With collective leave status, office activities and public services generally follow each institution’s policies, while some private sectors may adjust work operations. This moment also becomes one of the holiday periods widely used by the public for travelling or resting.
