About this file
This document is a reference guide issued by the State of Hawaii Department of Human Resources Development (DHRD) listing official state holidays for 2026 and 2027. The guide identifies fourteen designated holidays per year that Hawaii state government agencies are required to observe, including 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 calendar dates on which each holiday falls in both 2026 and 2027, along with the statutory or constitutional designation that defines when each holiday is officially observed. For example, Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day is observed on the third Monday in January, while King Kamehameha I Day is fixed on June 11th.
The document includes a footnote clarifying that the holiday schedule applies solely to state government agencies and that federal government and local banking holidays may differ from those listed. Additionally, the guide notes that state agencies operating on schedules other than standard Monday-Friday, 7:45 AM to 4:30 PM hours should refer to their respective collective bargaining agreements for holiday observance guidelines. The document was created by DHRD on January 2, 2024, and is subject to change. This reference material would be relevant to the Puuhonua Reentry Program contract opportunity with the Office of Hawaiian Affairs, as it establishes the official work schedule and holiday closures that would affect program operations and service delivery timelines.
