About this file
This is a Hawaii State Holidays reference document created by the Department of Human Resources Development (DHRD) for use by State government agencies. The document lists all designated state holidays for 2026 and 2027, including dates and the statutory or constitutional basis for each observance. The holidays include New Year's Day, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, Presidents' Day, Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole Day, Good Friday, Memorial Day, King Kamehameha I Day, Independence Day, Statehood Day, Labor Day, General Election Day (2026 only), Veterans' Day, Thanksgiving, and Christmas. The document specifies the exact day each holiday falls on for both years and notes that federal government and local banking holidays may differ from state designations. The reference material is intended for state agencies to determine holiday schedules and is subject to change.
The document includes a footnote indicating that state agencies operating on schedules other than the standard Monday-Friday, 7:45 AM to 4:30 PM should also refer to appropriate collective bargaining agreements. This attachment serves as a planning resource for the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA) contract opportunity for weekly television interviews, as it helps establish the operational calendar during the twenty-six-week contract period. The document was created January 2, 2024, and agencies should access the DHRD website at dhrd.hawaii.gov for any updates or changes to the holiday schedule.
