Public holidays in Macao 2021-2025

Macau has many holidays, which are also found in China and Hong Kong. The roots of the country are clearly to be found in China and its Chinese lunar calendar. Macau was in Portuguese hands for about 400 years and this is also noticeable on the holidays. Although Christmas and Easter (the two highest Christian festivals) are not listed as public holidays, they are well known.

The Chinese New Year celebration extends over 4 days, which are also all work-free. On the spot, one notices little of this, because the small country with the impressive casinos lives to an enormous part from tourism. Only offices and a few stores actually close over the holidays.
