Vietnam's Lunar Calendar Marks July 19, 2026

July 19, 2026 falls on a Sunday in the Gregorian calendar and corresponds to the sixth day of the sixth lunar month (Giáp Ngọ) in Vietnam's traditional calendar. The day is considered auspicious, especially for early departure, business meetings, legal matters and ceremonies, and is associated with the "Thanh Long Đầu" auspicious hour and the "Tiểu Thử" solar term. Specific hour divisions are listed as favorable (e.g., Tý, Sửu, Mão, Ngọ, Thân, Dậu) and unfavorable (e.g., Dần, Thìn, Tỵ, Mùi, Tuất, Hợi) for various activities.

The date also marks the 80‑year anniversary of Vietnam’s 1946 decree on civil‑execution, a milestone in the development of the country's legal system. In the United States, July 19 is observed as an unofficial Ice Cream Day, celebrated annually since 1984.
