So, Rare Moment, August 17 Will Fall on Sunday, Will the Ceremony Still Take Place or Not? Here Are the Rules

The Shiro Copr - Starting from nine days ahead, the new moon will soon occur.

Meanwhile, the month is August 2025.

As known, August is an important month for the Indonesian nation because it commemorates the Proclamation of Independence Day or the Republic of Indonesia's (RI) Anniversary (HUT), which is often celebrated on the 17th of each month.

The government itself has made that day a national holiday.

Just a note, in 2025 the Independence Day celebration is expected to fall on Sunday.

In other words, the schedule of the Republic of Indonesia Independence Day (HUT RI) this month coincides with the weekend holiday.

During the 80th anniversary of Indonesia's Independence Day, various layers of society and the government will certainly hold events.

Then, will the flag ceremony still be held or not?

RI Independence Day Ceremony Rules on Holidays

As in the previous year, according to the joint decree (SKB) of the Minister of Religion, Minister of Manpower, and Minister of State Apparatus Empowerment and Bureaucratic Reform No. 855/2023, No. 3/2023, No. 4/2023 regarding National Holidays and Shared Leave for the current year, if August 17th falls on a national holiday commemorating the Independence Day of the Republic of Indonesia, it is certain that the community and various government institutions will enjoy the holiday on that day.

This will also be applied to schools in Indonesia, and they will still receive their vacation allowance.

Nevertheless, schools usually still hold flag ceremonies or other celebrations to commemorate the Independence Day of Indonesia.

The event is held at the school or the nearest location and may be combined with various parties.

Therefore, even though August 17, 2025, is a national holiday, school students may still be required to attend the flag ceremony for the 80th anniversary of Independence Day on August 17, 2025, or other activities at the school field or designated locations.

Holiday or Not?

Thus, the National Day holiday coincides with the weekend.

It means there are no additional holidays on weekdays in August.

In the Joint Ministerial Decree (SKB) 3 Ministers regarding National Holidays and Shared Leave for 2025, the government has determined August 17 as a national holiday.

Usually, every time there is an official holiday, it is also accompanied by a collective leave.

This does not apply to the Independence Day holiday.

There is no public holiday before or after that holiday.

However, the 2025 Independence Day holiday falls on a Sunday weekend.

The community can enjoy holidays on Saturday and Sunday.
