The Islamabad administration has announced a public holiday on Friday, December 26, 2025, following successive national and provincial holiday notifications for the year-end period. The announcement comes amid existing holidays for Quaid-e-Azam Day and Christmas on December 25, which were declared by federal and Sindh governments as part of the festive and national observance schedule.
Authorities said that government offices, educational institutions and other public services in the federal capital will remain closed on December 26, allowing citizens additional time to observe festivities and associated break periods. The decision forms part of a cluster of year-end holidays — including December 25 for Quaid-e-Azam Day and Christmas — which has generated a multi-day respite for workers and students.
Officials have encouraged the public to plan accordingly for the extended holiday period, while emphasising that essential services and emergency operations will continue to function. Specific details about closures for banks and other sectors will be released through relevant institutional notifications.
