Planning around Taiwan holidays in 2026

  • Many holidays are clustered around specific dates, particularly in February and October.
  • Several observances are tied to lunar cycles, meaning their Gregorian calendar dates can shift annually.
  • The calendar includes a mix of national holidays and culturally significant days.
  • Check specific dates for holidays that may fall on weekends or have associated observed days off.

Holiday patterns in 2026

The holiday year in Taiwan is heavily weighted towards the beginning, with February being exceptionally busy due to the Lunar New Year and associated holiday period. Following this, March and April see a steady distribution of holidays.

The middle of the year, from May to August, shows a more moderate pace, with a notable lull in July. The latter part of the year picks up activity, particularly in October with National Day and other significant observances.

The calendar concludes with a few holidays in December, including Christmas Day and Constitution Day, alongside the winter solstice.
