Arunachal Pradesh's 2027 Holiday Calendar
Arunachal Pradesh's 2027 calendar runs on 21 notified holidays in total, 17 central gazetted days observed nationwide and 4 specific to the state.
Arunachal Pradesh's Own Additions
The holidays specific to Arunachal Pradesh are Statehood Day, Mopin, Dree Festival, Solung.
Arunachal Pradesh's 2027 calendar runs on the same 17 central gazetted holidays most states observe, Republic Day, Independence Day and Gandhi Jayanti among them, with 4 days specific to the state. These lean on the territory's indigenous festivals rather than the pan-Indian Hindu calendar: Statehood Day marks its founding on 20 February, Mopin and Dree are harvest festivals kept by the Galo and Apatani communities, and Solung closes out the farming year for the Adi community in early September. Several other locally significant festivals, Losar, Nyokum and Si-Donyi among them, follow calendars too variable to place confidently on a 2027 date and are not included here.

FAQs on Arunachal Pradesh Holidays in 2027
Four: Statehood Day on Saturday, 20 February, marking the day Arunachal Pradesh became a full state in 1987; Mopin, the Galo community's spring harvest festival, on Monday, 5 April; Dree, the Apatani community's festival, on Sunday, 4 July; and Solung, the Adi community's harvest festival, on Wednesday, 1 September.
Those festivals are genuinely significant across Arunachal Pradesh, but their traditional dates are not fixed to the Gregorian calendar the way Statehood Day, Mopin, Dree and Solung are. Losar follows the Tibetan lunar calendar, and other community festivals vary by region, so placing them on a specific 2027 date without a reliable source would likely get them wrong. They'll be added once a verified date is available.
The state government typically issues its holiday notification toward the end of the preceding year, so the 2027 list is expected around late 2026. Once it's out, the dates on this page will be checked against it and corrected where needed.
Arunachal Pradesh observes 21 notified holidays in 2027 in total: 17 central gazetted holidays observed nationwide and 4 specific to the state.
