How does Indonesia mark Labour Day?
Hari Buruh Internasional
- Local date
- May 1, 2027
Indonesia lists International Workers' Day on 1 May as a national holiday, written into the annual joint ministerial decree alongside religious festivals and independence day on the same sheet. This is a relatively recent arrangement — since it entered the national holiday list, 1 May in Indonesia has been both a rest day and a march day, with both uses sitting on the same date.

1 May is International Workers' Day, but no two of these seven places treat it the same way: Taiwan only made it a universal day off under a new act in 2025, mainland China gives two days since its 2024 amendment, Brazil and Indonesia list it as a national holiday, India's national list does not contain it at all, Japan works on 1 May while the days around it are holidays, and the United States puts its Labor Day in September.
