| 2026-12-24 → 2027-01-01 | Christmas - New Year holiday period holiday Fixed holidays (25 Dec public holiday, NYE fireworks/mall season).

| 2027-03-10 → 2027-03-11 verify | Idul Fitri / Lebaran 1448H and mudik exodus holiday Idul Fitri expected Wed-Thu 10-11 Mar 2027 (moon-dependent; official SKB cuti bersama pending).

| 2027-05-20 verify | Waisak (Vesak Day) 2571 BE holiday Expected Thursday 20 May 2027 (lunar-calendar estimate pending official decree). Potential Friday-bridge long weekend; main pilgrimage demand goes to Borobudur/Central Java, so for Jakarta it mostly means a weak corporate week and mild outbound leisure. | low | Citywide | source ↗ |

| 2027-08-17 | Indonesia Independence Day (82nd) holiday Fixed national holiday, Tuesday in 2027 - a likely Monday-bridge four-day weekend, reinforced by Maulid falling Sunday 15 Aug.
