nt-2027in our public holiday dataset. Every date below is read from that record at build time.
What we checked, and what we changed: Verified 19 Sep 2026 via Wayback Machine archive of the live nt.gov.au page (direct access returned HTTP 403/bot challenge). FINDING: the source page states explicitly 'The dates for 2027 regional show days are not yet confirmed. This page will be updated once the public holidays are appointed.' No 2027 NT show-day locality dates exist yet anywhere, so none are recorded — recorded as a known gap rather than invented.

Regional and part-day holidays
2 of the entries above are not statewide. Northern Territory has days that apply only in one area, only for part of a day, or only to some employers. Our calculators count statewide holidays only, so if one of these applies to you, add it yourself.
