Penang public holidays 2027

18 public holidays in Penang in 2027 — every federal day plus 2 observed only here.

Every date on this page is a projection. No Malaysian government has gazetted 2027 yet — the states publish it late in 2026. Each date is shown next to where the same holiday fell in 2026, so you can see how far it may move. Nothing here should be treated as settled. 2026 is gazetted.
