NZ Public Holidays 2026 to 2035
This tool lists every New Zealand public holiday from 2026 to 2035 in one place, so you can plan leave, payroll and business closures years ahead without checking separate calendars. New Zealand has 11 national public holidays each year, shown with both the actual calendar date and the observed date, the day treated as the statutory holiday once the Holidays Act 2003 rule for Mondayisation is applied. Switch between two views: browse By Year to see all 11 holidays for a single year at a glance, or flip to By Holiday and pick a day, such as Waitangi Day or Christmas Day, from the dropdown to track how its date moves across all ten years. Where the observed date differs from the actual date, an observed badge flags the shift, and each row shows the day of the week. Matariki dates are shown as officially gazetted through to 2035, King's Birthday is fixed to the first Monday in June, and Good Friday, Easter Monday and Labour Day are worked out automatically. Regional anniversary days are not included, since they vary by province. Use this page to check when a holiday falls in a future year, confirm whether Mondayisation applies, or plan staffing and pay well ahead of time, then verify critical dates with Employment New Zealand if they affect a legal deadline.
New Zealand has 12 public holidays each year (11 national holidays plus one anniversary day that varies by region). This page covers the 11 national public holidays from 2026 to 2035. Where a holiday falls on a Saturday or Sunday, it is observed on the following Monday (or Tuesday in some cases) under the Holidays Act 2003. Regional anniversary days (Auckland, Wellington, Canterbury, Otago, Southland, Hawke's Bay, Taranaki, Marlborough, Nelson, Westland, and Chatham Islands) are not included here as they vary by location.
