Vietnam’s Public Holidays for 2025
We list the public holidays in Vietnam in 2025, including national events and cultural celebrations.
Vietnam’s national holidays are a vibrant reflection of the country’s rich cultural heritage, deep-rooted traditions, and historical milestones. These holidays play a significant role in uniting the nation, as they celebrate everything from ancient myths and religious customs to pivotal political events that have shaped Vietnam’s identity. Many of these occasions, like the Lunar New Year (Tết Nguyên Đán), are embedded in centuries-old traditions, while others, such as Reunification Day and National Day, commemorate Vietnam’s struggles for independence and national sovereignty.
Each holiday provides an opportunity for the people of Vietnam to express their reverence for family, honor ancestors, and participate in time-honored rituals. At the same time, modern celebrations offer a chance to embrace national pride and celebrate progress.
Most of these holidays are observed as public holidays, with government offices and businesses closing, allowing for large-scale nationwide celebrations, family gatherings, and local festivals.
