Kuwait’s Cabinet announced on February 10, 2026, that February 25 and 26 will be public holidays for all state ministries, government agencies, and public institutions. These two days celebrate Kuwait's 65th National Day and 35th Liberation Day. With these holidays just before the weekend, many public workers will have a four-day break. Work will restart on Sunday, March 1, 2026. Authorities said offices providing essential services will plan their own holiday schedules to keep critical services running. The Cabinet meeting was led by Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmad Al-Abdullah Al-Sabah. National Day on February 25 honors Kuwait’s independence and Sheikh Abdullah Al-Salem Al-Sabah’s coronation. Liberation Day on February 26 marks Kuwait’s freedom in 1991 after the Iraqi invasion. The celebrations include parades, cultural events, and the popular "Maseerah" march, where Kuwaitis and residents walk together to celebrate unity and progress. Fireworks light up Kuwait City and landmarks like the Kuwait Towers. Many locals and expatriates join festivals and community activities. The Cabinet also approved changes to the law protecting families from domestic violence, calling it a "qualitative shift" to strengthen social stability. They reviewed the 2026/2027 budget presented by Finance Minister Dr. Yaqoub Al-Rifai. With the holidays approaching, local travel and events are expected to rise. Private sector workers should check their HR announcements for holiday plans. This break offers a chance to celebrate Kuwait’s heritage and look forward to its ambitious "Kuwait 2035" vision.
