Chinese New Year

Chinese New Year is one of Singapore’s major cultural celebrations, marked by family visits, reunion meals and festive foods. The three-day break runs across the weekend and Monday substitute holiday.
Date source: Ministry of Manpower (MOM), “Public Holidays 2027”.

• Opening patterns vary: Some smaller food outlets and independent businesses may close or shorten hours.
• Festive orders happen early: Retailers and restaurants should verify stock, collection and reservations ahead of the break.
• Booked services need clarity: Clinics, salons and appointment businesses should show exactly which sessions remain available.
• Visitor enquiries: Share your hours; suggest checking transport and attraction notices directly.
• Check employment guidance: For private-sector days off, substitute holidays, staffing and pay arrangements, follow announcements from the Ministry of Manpower (MOM).

• 30 days before: Set daily Saturday-to-Monday hours, then confirm staffing and festive orders.
• 14 days before: Set each date’s special hours in Google Business Profile, including closed days. Publish a Post on the same day with the complete opening schedule.
• 7 days before: Republish Monday substitute-holiday hours and confirm bookings and collection windows.
• On the holiday or final day: Verify that the posted hours still match actual operations. Check that the special hours will expire after their assigned dates rather than overwrite regular hours.
