2026 Holiday Calendars Finalized in Peru, Argentina, Spain and the U.S.

Local decrees and observance rules shape who actually gets time off.

Overview

  • Peru set 16 nationwide feriados for 2026 covering workers and students, with triple pay required for holiday work without compensatory rest, and the executive list of non‑working days still pending.
  • Argentina confirmed its 2026 national calendar by Resolución 164/2025, with the first four‑day break arriving over Carnaval from Saturday, February 14, to Tuesday, February 17.
  • Spain’s 2026 framework includes 14 national holidays with two set locally per municipality, and the next holiday for the whole country is Good Friday on April 3.
  • The United States will observe 11 federal holidays defined in Title 5, section 6103, with Saturday holidays observed on Friday and Sunday holidays on Monday, so July 4 falling on a Saturday is observed Friday, July 3, and federal offices, many banks and USPS close on these days.
  • Municipal ‘microholidays’ add localized breaks, including a January 30 anniversary holiday in Florencio Varela that creates a district‑limited long weekend affecting local government, schools and many private workplaces.
