September 2, 2026 holiday schedule and MONA Media working hours

MONA Media is pleased to announce to our valued customers, partners and all team members the September 2, 2026 holiday schedule on the occasion of National Day of the Socialist Republic of Vietnam. This year September 2 falls on a Wednesday, and together with two weekend days and one swapped day, the break runs continuously. This article gives you MONA's specific schedule, the official state holiday schedule, and a full 2026 holiday table so everyone can plan their work and contact accordingly.

National Day September 2, 2026 holiday schedule: how many days off?

According to the holiday schedule announced by the State, for National Day 2026 employees get 5 consecutive days off, from Saturday, August 29, 2026 through Wednesday, September 2, 2026, and return to work on Thursday, September 3, 2026. The break includes 2 official public holidays, 2 weekend days and 1 day off from a working-day swap.

The day-by-day breakdown of the September 2, 2026 holiday is as follows:

DaysDayContent
29/8/2026SaturdayWeekend off

1/9/2026TuesdayNational Day holiday
2/9/2026WednesdayNational Day holiday
3/9/2026ThursdayBack to work as normal

So the whole country enters a 5-day break. If you're planning to head home or travel, this is a good chance to organize a full trip. Book bus and flight tickets early, because holiday peaks usually sell out and prices rise.

Why is National Day 2026 a 5-day break?

Many people wonder why this year's September 2 break runs a full 5 days when National Day is only 2 public holidays. The answer lies in how the holidays fall in the weekly calendar and in the working-day swap rules.

Under Article 112 of the 2019 Labor Code, employees get 2 days off for National Day: September 2 and one adjacent day before or after, decided by the Government each year. In 2026, September 2 falls on a Wednesday, so the chosen arrangement is September 1 (Tuesday) and September 2 (Wednesday). With the added swapped day off on Monday, August 31, joined to the two weekend days of August 29 and 30 just before, the whole break connects into 5 consecutive days instead of being broken up.

Note that this 5-day schedule officially applies to officials, civil servants and public employees. Businesses are encouraged to give employees a similar arrangement so the break is continuous, but they can still set their own schedule as long as they guarantee the number of public holiday days required by law. MONA Media applies the full 5-day schedule per State regulations.

Full 2026 public holiday and Tết schedule

To help you look things up and plan for the whole year, MONA has compiled the official 2026 holiday schedule for the major holidays and Tết, based on announcements from the authorities:

HolidayDays offDays

April 30 and May 1April 30 through May 3, 20264 days
National Day, September 2August 29 through September 2, 20265 days

For private-sector employees, the Lunar New Year (Tết Nguyên đán) break is at least 5 consecutive days by law, usually from the 29th of the last lunar month through the 4th day of the new year, which is February 16 through February 20, 2026. The actual number of days off at each company may vary depending on working-day swap arrangements.

A few notes on National Day, September 2

September 2 is Vietnam's National Day, marking September 2, 1945, when President Hồ Chí Minh read the Declaration of Independence at Ba Đình Square, giving birth to the Democratic Republic of Vietnam. It is one of the country's major and most important holidays, observed nationwide with meaningful activities such as flying the national flag, watching parades, joining cultural programs and visiting family.

For businesses, the National Day break is also a chance for teams to rest and recharge after a busy second half of the year, and a time when many families gather. MONA has always considered it important that our team gets a full break, alongside keeping our customers' services running without interruption.

MONA Media's September 2, 2026 holiday schedule

MONA Media follows the schedule set by State regulations. All departments will be off from August 29, 2026 through September 2, 2026 and and return to work on the morning of Thursday, September 3, 2026. Because Monday, August 31 is a swapped day off, MONA has scheduled a make-up working day on Saturday, September 5, 2026. Customers, please note that MONA works as normal on Saturday, September 5, and you can get in touch about work that day.

During this period, the tasks in progress with customers, from website design, full-scope SEO services to custom software, will have clear handover milestones set by the people in charge before the break so that nothing is interrupted. For anything that needs to be handed over urgently, please let us know early so the project team can wrap it up before August 29. Consultation, quotation or new project requests sent during the break will be answered in turn as soon as we return to work on September 3, 2026.

MONA keeps websites and hosting running through the holiday

Websites, software systems and hosting infrastructure operated by MONA keep running throughout the break. The technical team is on call for incidents, monitoring systems 24/7 to keep customers' websites, applications and services hosting running stably, even on holidays.

If you hit an urgent problem such as a website you can't reach, a payment error on a sales platform or signs of an attack, please contact the hotline 1900 636 648 so MONA can receive and handle it immediately. For businesses selling online, holidays are usually a shopping peak, so keeping your website and sales systems stable during these days directly affects revenue.

What should businesses prepare for their website before a long holiday?

A 5-day break means a stretch when almost no one is watching a website day to day, while traffic can rise over the holiday. From our experience operating thousands of websites for customers, MONA suggests you check a few important things before the break:

  • Back up all website data and the database: having a fresh backup before the break lets you recover quickly if something goes wrong, instead of spending days rebuilding.
  • Check hosting, domain and SSL certificate expiry: a domain or SSL certificate that expires right during the holiday will take your website down or trigger security warnings, and it's hard to fix in a hurry when everyone is off.
  • Review security and attack protection: holidays are when websites are often scanned and attacked, because few people are watching. Update your source code, change admin passwords and turn on protection layers. You can also read more about website anti-hacking solutions.
  • Prepare content and promotions for the holiday: if you sell online, prepare banners, post holiday delivery schedules and plan customer care scripts so you don't miss orders.
  • Make sure you have a support channel when you need one: choose a provider with an on-call team during the break, or use chatbot AI to receive and answer customers automatically 24/7, even when your whole team is off.

If you want to hand all website monitoring, updates and incident handling to a dedicated team so you can take your holiday with peace of mind, MONA's website management service is worth considering.
