Anzac Day will be observed with a double public holiday in 2026.
This year, Anzac Day falls on a Saturday. The usual village, town, state and national commemorations will take place on Saturday, April 25.
However, the Monday following Anzac Day has also been gazetted as a state public holiday in NSW.
“Dawn Services, marches and community ceremonies held on that day will continue to be the central focus of remembrance across NSW,” information from the state government reads.
“Anzac Day is not simply a date on the calendar it is a living tradition observed in towns, suburbs and cities right across our state.
“The additional holiday on Monday does not replace Anzac Day. Rather it reinforces its importance and significance as well as making it consistent with other major public holidays.”
As Anzac Day falls on a Sunday in 2027, the Monday will also be classed as a public holiday.
