New Year's Day 2027 falls on Friday, 1 January 2027. Because it is a Friday, the holiday makes a three-day weekend straight away, to Sunday 3 January. Indonesia has three time zones, so the new year arrives three times: at 00:00 WIT in Papua and Maluku, an hour later in the WITA zone, such as Bali, Nusa Tenggara, East Kalimantan and Sulawesi, and two hours later in the WIB zone, Sumatra, Java and West Kalimantan. The countdown above counts to 00:00 WIB. New Year's Eve, Thursday 31 December 2026, is an ordinary working day. Four days after New Year, on Tuesday 5 January, comes Isra Mi'raj, so one leave day on Monday 4 January joins the two into five days off. New Year 2028 falls on a Saturday and adds no day off for five-day workers.

Common questions

Where in Indonesia does 2027 arrive first?

In the Eastern Indonesia Time zone: Papua, West Papua, Maluku and the other WIT provinces. 00:00 WIT is 22:00 WIB, two hours before Jakarta. The WITA zone follows an hour later, then the WIB zone. The countdown on this page follows Western Indonesia Time (WIB).

Is New Year's Eve 2026 a day off in Indonesia?

No. New Year's Eve, Thursday 31 December 2026, is an ordinary working day under the 2026 decree. The holiday starts on Friday 1 January 2027. Many offices shorten the working day that afternoon, but there is no national rule on it.

What day is New Year 2028?

A Saturday. New Year 2028 falls on Saturday 1 January, so it adds no day off for five-day workers, since Indonesia does not move holidays that fall on a weekend. 2028 is also a leap year with 366 days. 2027 itself ends on a Friday.
