Is the Lantern Festival holiday in 2019

The Spring Festival holiday is over. Many people go back to work to make money, but after the Spring Festival, we will usher in the Lantern Festival. Everyone knows that the Lantern Festival is a traditional Chinese festival. However, do you know when the Lantern Festival is in 2019? Will there be a holiday for the Lantern Festival?

It is reported that the Lantern Festival is on Tuesday, February 19. So, is the Lantern Festival holiday this year? Let's see.

According to national regulations, the Lantern Festival is not a legal holiday, and the Lantern Festival in 2019 is Tuesday, so there is no holiday. Lantern Festival is an important national traditional festival. Some opinions suggest that it should also be established as a national legal festival, which has been carefully studied by the head of the national development and Reform Commission.

Considering that the total number of national legal holidays should not be increased at present, and the Lantern Festival is close to the Spring Festival, although the Mid Autumn Festival is also adjacent to the national day, the Mid Autumn Festival has a greater impact, so the Lantern Festival will not be added as a legal holiday for the time being. In fact, in many places, units and enterprises have holidays as appropriate on the day of the Lantern Festival. Moreover, if the Lantern Festival happens to be Saturday and Sunday, it can be regarded as providing convenience for everyone.
