About Uzbekistan Public Holidays
Uzbekistan observes a combination of secular national holidays and Islamic religious holidays. The official public holiday calendar is established by presidential decree, with the list reflecting the country's history, cultural heritage, and majority-Muslim population. Key secular holidays include New Year's Day (January 1), Women's Day (March 8), the Spring Festival of Navruz (March 21), Victory Day (May 9), Independence Day (September 1), Teachers' and Instructors' Day (October 1), and Constitution Day (December 8). These dates are fixed annually and apply to all employees across the country. When a public holiday falls on a weekend, a substitute working day or additional rest day may be declared by the government.
Islamic holidays — Eid al-Fitr (Ramazon Hayiti) and Eid al-Adha (Qurbon Hayiti) — are recognised as one-day public holidays each in Uzbekistan. Unlike fixed-date holidays, these are based on the Islamic lunar calendar and shift each year. Their exact dates are confirmed by official moon-sighting bodies and announced by presidential decree. Navruz on March 21 holds special cultural significance as the Persian and Central Asian New Year, predating Islam in the region and celebrated with traditional foods, music, and outdoor festivities. Together, the Uzbekistan 2027 public holiday calendar offers 9 official rest days spanning secular, cultural, and religious observances.
