The practical risk is not just the date. Hari Raya Puasa can affect closure expectations, bridge-day leave, country-specific substitutions, cross-border date drift, and timezone reminders differently in each jurisdiction.

Date confidence
Catalog onlyHari Raya Puasa uses tracked catalog rows for the visible forward window. lunar / lunisolar holidays stay inside the source window when extrapolation would be risky.
Bridge-day pressure
WednesdayHari Raya Puasa next falls on March 10, 2027 (Wednesday). Moderate midweek pressure: the day breaks the workweek but does not naturally create a four-day block.
Cross-border drift

Story and rule checkpoint
lunar holiday profile: The end-of-Ramadan holiday marks a transition from fasting to communal celebration, charity, and shared meals, which gives it both spiritual and logistical importance.
Local specificity checkpoint
Hari Raya Puasa is Singapore's local public-holiday name for Eid al-Fitr, framed through Malay-Muslim community practice after Ramadan rather than the Philippine proclamation process. In Singapore, mosque attendance, family visiting, bazaar periods, and one-day statutory closure patterns are the practical signals to check.
Dossier checkpoint
hari-raya-puasa and feast-of-ramadhan are alternate slugs for the same lunar festival (Eid al-Fitr / 1 Shawwal); the Philippines uses the Arabic-derived 'Eid'l Fitr / Feast of Ramadhan' while Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei use the Malay 'Hari Raya Puasa.' Hari Raya Haji (Eid al-Adha) follows roughly 70 days later on 10 Dhul Hijjah and is the second of Singapore's two gazetted Islamic holidays. Source citations are rendered in the holiday-specific dossier.
Reference stack
This block separates the local Singapore holiday answer from two common sources of programmatic-calendar confusion: countries that use the same holiday name on different dates, and future rows that are projected from a rule rather than directly tracked.
Cross-border date spread
Hari Raya Puasa is currently anchored to Singapore in the observed-country dataset, so cross-border date drift is not a major concern on this page.
Projection reliability
Hari Raya Puasa stays inside the tracked catalog window for forward dates because its lunar / lunisolar rule is not safely extrapolated here. Source posture: 3 curated source citations attached.

Hari Raya Puasa is Singapore's local public-holiday name for Eid al-Fitr, framed through Malay-Muslim community practice after Ramadan rather than the Philippine proclamation process.

Seasonal placement
Hari Raya Puasa next lands in the spring planning band for Singapore. That matters for school terms, travel season, and whether the holiday sits near year-end, spring religious calendars, summer travel, or autumn civic cycles.
Weekday distribution in this window
Hari Raya Puasa follows the Hijri lunar calendar and depends on moon-sighting confirmation in many countries, so the published Gregorian date is always provisional until the local religious authority confirms it.
Searches for Hari Raya Puasa usually want the projected versus confirmed date, school and office closures in Singapore, and the way the holiday shifts each year on the Gregorian calendar.

Statutory mode

Differentiates from neighbors
hari-raya-puasa and feast-of-ramadhan are alternate slugs for the same lunar festival (Eid al-Fitr / 1 Shawwal); the Philippines uses the Arabic-derived 'Eid'l Fitr / Feast of Ramadhan' while Singapore, Malaysia and Brunei use the Malay 'Hari Raya Puasa.' Hari Raya Haji (Eid al-Adha) follows roughly 70 days later on 10 Dhul Hijjah and is the second of Singapore's two gazetted Islamic holidays.
Religious / civic / cultural context
Hari Raya Puasa ('great day of fasting') is the Malay-language name for Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of Ramadan's month-long dawn-to-dusk fast. In Singapore the holiday carries dual weight as religious obligation (one of two canonical Islamic festivals) and civic recognition of the Malay community as a constitutionally-protected indigenous people under Article 152. The rumah terbuka practice — central to the day — is explicitly framed in national multiracial discourse as a cross-community bridge, with non-Muslim Singaporeans expected to visit Malay friends.
Date rule
Falls on 1 Shawwal in the Islamic Hijri lunar calendar, the day after Ramadan ends — shifting roughly 11 days earlier each Gregorian year. In Singapore the Ministry of Manpower (MOM) gazettes the date each June for the following year based on calculations from the Majlis Ugama Islam Singapura (MUIS); for 2026 the gazetted date is Saturday, 21 March.
Planning impact
Treat the gazetted date as a hard close for Singapore-side counterparties — SGX equities, FX cut-off via MEPS+, and government e-services pause. Plan around the preceding Geylang Serai Ramadan Bazaar (typically 36 days ending the night before Hari Raya, drawing heavy foot traffic and traffic congestion around Paya Lebar). Malay-Muslim staff often take additional leave for balik kampung travel to Malaysia; expect reduced staffing for the surrounding week. When Hari Raya falls Saturday (as in 2026), there is no substitute holiday — a tighter calendar than the Sunday-fall pattern.
Observance mode by jurisdiction
Country-specific behavior
Only countries whose pattern departs from the headline observance rule are listed.
Singapore
Gazetted statutory holiday under the Holidays Act; MUIS sets the Islamic-calendar date and MOM publishes the Gregorian equivalent each June for the following year. Geylang Serai is the civic-cultural focal point with the annual Ramadan Bazaar and Hari Raya Light-Up.
Singapore
Istana (Presidential residence) hosts a public Hari Raya Open House — one of three annual ceremonial open-houses (alongside Chinese New Year and Deepavali) symbolising the multi-racial covenant.
Sources
As a Islamic lunar holiday sitting in the Singapore calendar, Hari Raya Puasa matters for planning because office, bank, and school closures stack on the same day. The next tracked occurrence is March 10, 2027 (Wednesday), which controls long-weekend math for that year.
Hari Raya Puasa also appears in other country calendars such as Singapore. Recorded next dates include Singapore on March 10, 2027 — slight differences across borders are common because each country can apply weekend-substitution or regional-only rules to the same nominal holiday.
Singapore plans this holiday primarily around Asia/Singapore. Because Hari Raya Puasa follows a lunar or lunisolar calendar, the Gregorian date moves significantly each year and statutory recognition often spans several days, so reading the official block is more useful than the headline date. Teams often line Hari Raya Puasa up with Hari Raya Haji, Deepavali, and Vesak Day when blocking off the broader holiday window.
