About Myanmar holidays in 2026
In 2026, Myanmar observes a variety of public holidays, including significant national celebrations, religious festivals, and international observances. The year kicks off with New Year's Day and continues with Independence Day and Union Day in January and February, respectively. Buddhist traditions are marked by several Full Moon Days throughout the year, with the most prominent being the Full Moon Day of Tabaung in March and the Full Moon Day of Waso, which signifies the beginning of Buddhist Lent. The Water Festival, Maha Thingyan, dominates April with an extended period of celebration. The latter half of the year includes Martyrs' Day, the end of Buddhist Lent with Thadingyut, Diwali, and Tazaungmone, concluding with National Day and Christmas Day.
