Things will start to close from mid afternoon on the 25th and reopen on 27th BUT then if Galungan is on 28th a lot won't even bother to re-open because they would be heading off on 27th to get to their villages for their ceremonies on 28th. So I think a lot of places will be closed from the afternoon of the 25th till 29th or 30th.
You may find some non Hindu places open from 27th.
