Holidays and traditions of Kazakhstan

Holidays in the Republic of Kazakhstan are divided into national, state and professional holidays. Their list is approved by law.

National holidays are holidays established to commemorate events of special historical significance that have had a significant impact on the development of Kazakhstan's statehood. The celebration of national holidays is accompanied by official events in Central and local government bodies.

State holidays are holidays dedicated to events of social and political significance, as well as traditionally celebrated by citizens of the Republic of Kazakhstan. The celebration of the state holidays can be accompanied by carrying out official actions.

Professional and other holidays - holidays that do not have the status of national and state holidays, celebrated by certain categories of citizens.

Days on which national and state holidays are celebrated are non-working days.

Religious holidays Eid al-Adha and Orthodox Christmas do not belong to official holidays, but are days off in accordance with article 96 of the Labor code of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

Holidays and weekends in the Republic of Kazakhstan

The list of state and national holidays is contained in articles 2 and 3 of the Law of the Republic of Kazakhstan "on holidays in the Republic of Kazakhstan".  The list of holiday dates (professional holidays) is established by the President of the Republic of Kazakhstan.

If a weekend and a holiday coincide, the day off is the next working day after the holiday.

In order to create favorable conditions for rest and rational use of working time, for example, when one working day falls between holidays and weekends, the Government of the Republic of Kazakhstan may issue resolutions on the transfer of rest days from the weekend to the working day. Such resolutions are adopted immediately before the relevant holidays and published in advance in the media.
