Tengrinews.kz – In July 2025, Kazakhstanis will get an extra day off. Tengrinews.kz has prepared a handy calendar to help you plan your leisure time in advance and not miss the holidays.
Extra day off for Capital City Day
In July 2025, citizens will enjoy long weekend holidays in honor of Capital City Day, one of Kazakhstan's main public holidays. It’s celebrated on July 6 and marks the transfer of the capital from Almaty to Astana in 1998.
Across the country, large-scale festivities are held, especially in Astana: concerts, festivals, street fairs, and exhibitions are planned.
How Kazakhstanis will rest in July 2025
Since July 6 falls on a Sunday, the day off is legally moved to Monday, July 7, under the "Law on Holidays". This gives citizens three consecutive days off: July 5–7.

- July 5, 6, 7 (Saturday–Monday) – days off.
6-day workweek:
- July 5 (Saturday) – working day;
