Deepavali stands out as a festival of light, renewal, and family gathering, and it retains strong public visibility wherever it appears in the statutory holiday calendar. In the current dataset this holiday is only listed for Singapore.
The festival draws on Hindu traditions that differ by region, but the broad themes of light over darkness, prosperity, and ritual household preparation remain consistent.
Because celebration involves travel, worship, gifts, food, and evening ritual, the holiday has a social footprint much larger than a simple one-day label suggests.
Deepavali is marked as a nationwide observance in the current Singapore holiday data.
Deepavali follows a lunar or lunisolar calendar tradition, so the Gregorian date changes from year to year. In the tracked data window, the dates land on 2025: October 21, 2026: November 9, 2027: October 29.
The current static build keeps the tracked 2025-2027 date window online for curated holiday detail pages.

Operational note
If you are planning travel, payroll, or customer support around Deepavali, use the next-occurrence date and the local timezone block together.
Deepavali works as more than a date check in Singapore; it is a public marker that affects staffing, support coverage, school calendars, and travel timing. The next tracked occurrence is November 9, 2026, so this page acts as a quick planning note as well as a historical explainer.
Deepavali also appears in other country calendars such as Singapore. The next recorded dates across that wider footprint include Singapore on November 9, 2026, which helps explain why airline schedules, payroll calendars, and global customer-support shifts often treat the holiday as a regional wave rather than a single-country event.
Singapore plans this holiday primarily around Asia/Singapore. Deepavali also tends to be planned alongside Hari Raya Puasa, Christmas Day, and Chinese New Year, because people rarely make calendar decisions about one public holiday in isolation.
