Indonesia's 82nd Independence Day falls on Tuesday, 17 August 2027. Proclamation Day is a fixed-date national holiday under the presidential decree on public holidays, so the date never changes, only the weekday. In 2027, 17 August falls on a Tuesday, so Monday 16 August is a working day caught in between. One leave day there gives a four-day break from Saturday 14 to Tuesday 17 August, with the Prophet's Birthday on Sunday 15 August in the middle. The Proclamation was read on Friday 17 August 1945, a Jumat Legi in the Javanese calendar, during Ramadan 1364 AH. The state ceremony is usually held in the morning, followed by games and events in every neighbourhood. In 2026 the 81st Independence Day fell on a Monday, and in 2028 the 83rd falls on a Thursday, with Friday 18 August as a bridge.

17 August is fixed every year under Presidential Decree 8 of 2024 and is listed in the 2027 joint decree. Only the weekday changes, and that decides whether there is a bridge.
Planning the 17 August break
A Tuesday gives a bridge on the Monday. If you want to go home for the ceremony and the games, four leave days, Monday 16 and Wednesday 18 to Friday 20 August, give nine days off from 14 to 22 August. Details are on August 2027 holidays. The weton of any date, including Proclamation Day, can be worked out in the weton calculator.
