About this file
This document is a reference file issued by the Hawaii Department of Human Resources Development (DHRD) listing the official state holidays to be observed by Hawaii government agencies in 2026 and 2027. The file provides the specific dates and days of the week for 14 state holidays in each year, 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. Each holiday is designated according to Hawaii Revised Statutes Section 8-1 or the Hawaii State Constitution, with specific rules governing holidays that fall on particular days of the week or occur on observed dates rather than official dates. For example, Independence Day observance shifts to July 3 in 2026 (Friday) and July 5 in 2027 (Monday), and Good Friday in 2027 coincides with Prince Jonah Kuhio Kalanianaole Day on March 26.
The document is intended for use solely by state government agencies and notes that federal government and local banking holidays may differ from the state holidays listed. The file further specifies that state agencies operating on schedules other than the standard Monday-Friday, 7:45 AM to 4:30 PM should also refer to applicable collective bargaining agreements. As a reference document created by DHRD and dated January 2, 2024, it is subject to change. This holiday schedule is relevant to the CTE Pathways to Cultural Practice contract opportunity administered by the Office of Hawaiian Affairs (OHA), as it establishes the official non-working days for state employees and contractors engaged in implementing the multi-phase cultural education initiative during the contract period.
