Confirmed · Scope: public · Checked 2026-09-27
Turkey’s law provides full-day national holidays and half-days from 13:00 on the two religious eves and 28 October. This national full-day calendar omits those partial days from planner calculations and explains them in the guide; no discretionary administrative extension is inferred.
Government offices close for the applicable statutory period. Essential services may use holiday staffing, and private workplaces apply Turkish labour law and collective arrangements.
Bank branches generally close on full public-holiday days. Digital services remain available, but scheduled transfers and branch transactions may wait until the next banking day.
Schools close when the holiday falls within the academic calendar; official ceremonies may be held before civic holidays.
Republic Day commemorates the 1923 proclamation of the Republic. Its constitutional importance comes from the establishment of republican government, rather than a separate constitution-anniversary holiday.
The statutory holiday begins at 13:00 on 28 October and lasts through 29 October. The existing URL is retained while its content accurately represents Republic Day.
National ceremonies, flags, speeches, school events and evening celebrations focus on the Republic and Atatürk's legacy.
This page resolves to Republic Day, so travel planning should use 29 October event notices rather than look for a separate Constitution Day closure.
