Planning business schedules or travel in Riau, Indonesia? Here is the complete public holiday reference for Riau, detailing official statutory observances and bank non-working days.
Corporate offices, banks, and public services throughout Riau align operating hours with official statutory non-working day notifications. In Riau, statutory fixed-date public holidays (including Hari Lahir Pancasila on June 1) mandate official non-working status for banks and government departments.
This is Indonesia's national public holiday calendar — the same live calendar shown on Indonesia's country-level holiday page — embedded here because public holidays are set nationally and apply uniformly across Riau and the rest of Indonesia, not a separate Riau-specific calendar.

These are Indonesia's official statutory fixed-date public holidays — the same national list shown on Indonesia's country holiday page — mandated by national labor law and applicable across every state and city in Indonesia, including Riau. These non-working days apply to government administrative offices, commercial banking institutions, and schools statewide.
| Holiday Name | Fixed Date | Category | Closure Status | Official Source |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Hari Lahir Pancasila | June 1 | National Public Holiday | Full National Closure | www.setneg.go.id |
| Hari Kemerdekaan (Independence Day) | August 17 | National Holiday | Full National Closure | www.setneg.go.id |
Statutory holidays landing on a Monday, Friday, Tuesday or Thursday create a long-weekend opportunity — here's what's coming up.
| Holiday | Date | Opportunity |
|---|---|---|
| Hari Lahir Pancasila | Tue, Jun 1, 2027 | Take the Monday before off for a 4-day weekend |
| Hari Kemerdekaan (Independence Day) | Tue, Aug 17, 2027 | Take the Monday before off for a 4-day weekend |
Public offices, banks and schools throughout Riau close on the same fixed-date statutory holidays observed nationwide, since public holidays in Indonesia are a matter of national labor law rather than state-by-state decree.
When a fixed statutory public holiday falls on a weekend in Riau, government gazette decrees often designate the adjacent Monday as an official substitute non-working day.
As Riau's capital, Tanjungpinang observes the identical statutory calendar — there's no separate capital-city holiday list distinct from the rest of Riau.
