Vietnamese Public Holidays
Public holidays in Vietnam, on which workers have days off, have gone through changes in number. Before 2007, Vietnamese workers observed 8 days of public holiday a year. However, on March 28th, 2007 the Government added a traditional holiday that commemorates the mythical Hung Kings to its list of public holidays, thus the number of days increased to 9. As in most other nations, if a holiday falls during the weekend, it is observed on the following Monday. Here comes the list of Vietnam’s Public holidays and some important holidays to be well celebrated nationwide:
