The national Naadam holiday falls on fixed days in July under Mongolian law, and the Mongolia Tourism Organization says the Sagsai Golden Eagle Festival will be held on 17–18 September 2027. Every other 2027 festival below is not yet announced, so we give the month it usually falls in and the last official date we could find.

Which dates in the Mongolia events calendar 2027 are official?

Only Naadam and the Sagsai Golden Eagle Festival, as of 3 November 2026. On 24 September 2026 the Mongolia Tourism Organization announced that the 2027 Sagsai festival will take place on 17–18 September in Sagsai soum, Bayan-Ölgii aimag. Naadam's days are set in the holiday law, which gives the whole country six days off from 10 to 15 July each year, as iKon.mn reported on 23 June 2026.

We will update this calendar every month as official dates appear. For winter detail, see our guide to Mongolia's winter festivals 2027, and browse every dated listing in our Events in Mongolia section.

What is on in winter, January to March 2027?

None of these 2027 winter dates has been announced yet.

January

  • Snow, ice and camel festivals in several aimags: date not yet announced. The government's 2026 events calendar placed them in January in Khentii, Arkhangai, Khovd, Umnugobi, Selenge, Bayankhongor and Dundgobi aimags and in Ulaanbaatar, per Montsame (26 December 2025).

  • Talyn Javkhaa horse culture festival, Ulaanbaatar: date not yet announced; last held on 24 January 2026 at the Chinggis Khaany Khuree complex, per Montsame.

February

  • Tsagaan Sar (Lunar New Year): 2027 date not yet officially announced. In 2026 border crossings closed for "days 1–3" of Tsagaan Sar on 18–20 February, per Montsame.

  • Ten Thousand Camel Festival, Dalanzadgad, Umnugobi: date not yet announced; usually held in early February. Montsame gave 1–3 February 2025 for the 26th edition, its latest dated report we found.

  • Mongols Nomadic Winter Festival, Ulaanbaatar: date not yet announced; last dated report 16–22 February 2025 at the National Garden Park, per Montsame.

March

  • Blue Pearl Ice Festival, Khuvsgul Lake: date not yet announced; usually 2–3 March, though in 2025 it moved to 13–23 February to avoid Tsagaan Sar, per Montsame.

  • Spring Eagle Festival, Ulaanbaatar: date not yet announced; last held on 7–8 March 2026 at the Chinggis Khaany Khuree complex, according to the Capital City Governor's Office as reported by iKon.mn.

What is on from April to August 2027?

July is the peak, with Naadam at its centre; for April to June we found no national festival with a published date.

July

  • Deeltei Mongol (Mongolians in Deel) festival, Ulaanbaatar: date not yet announced; last held on 8 July 2025 on Sukhbaatar Square, per Montsame.

  • National Naadam: public holiday 10–15 July 2027 under the holiday law. The opening ceremony is traditionally on 11 July at the Central Stadium in Ulaanbaatar, as in 2025, per Montsame. A bill to move holidays that fall on weekends was returned to its sponsors, iKon.mn reported on 17 June 2026, so any extra 2027 days off would need a government decision. See our Naadam Festival page.

  • Yak Festival, Bat-Ulzii soum, Uvurkhangai: date not yet announced; last listed for 23 July 2025, per Montsame, which also listed the Khangai regions' Danshig Naadam for 26–27 July 2025.
