Public holidays in Hong Kong are nationwide days off recognised by the government, when most banks, schools and government offices close and many businesses adjust their hours. They mark historical, cultural, religious or civic occasions and are a standard reference point for business professionals planning meetings and deadlines working with Hong Kong.

1 fixed-date public holiday is documented for Hong Kong in the table above, on top of movable observances shown in the live calendar. The exact total varies year to year — some holidays fall on a fixed date, while Easter-based, Islamic-calendar or other lunar observances shift annually, and some are added by regional decree. See the live calendar above for the current list of upcoming and recently observed dates.
