Argentina Confirms 2026 Holiday Calendar as Buenos Aires Towns Add Early‑January Local Breaks

Carnival on February 16–17 is the next nationwide holiday creating a four‑day weekend.

Overview

  • The national government formalized the 2026 schedule of fixed and movable holidays along with three tourism non‑working days.
  • Carnival combines with the preceding weekend to create a February 14–17 long break for many travelers.
  • The tourism days are set for Monday March 23, Friday July 10 and Monday December 7 to extend key weekends.
  • Local founding‑anniversary pauses were set for El Dorado (Leandro N. Alem) on Tuesday January 6, Tres Picos (Tornquist) on Wednesday January 7 and Carlos Casares on Thursday January 8.
  • These local asuetos grant administrative leave to public employees and Banco Provincia branches in those jurisdictions without changing the national calendar.
