Argentina Confirms 2026 Holiday Calendar With Fixed, Moveable and Tourism Days

It locks in long‑weekend planning by codifying tourism‑focused days alongside immovable commemorations.

Overview

  • Carnival 2026 falls on Monday 16 and Tuesday 17 February, creating a four‑day break from Saturday to Tuesday.
  • Thursday 2 April combines the immovable Malvinas remembrance with Holy Thursday, followed by the Good Friday holiday on 3 April.
  • The calendar distinguishes immovable and moveable holidays and adds non‑working tourism days on Monday 23 March, Friday 10 July and Monday 7 December.
  • Holy Thursday is a religious non‑working day with variable private‑sector observance, unlike the April 2 national holiday that is mandatory and cannot be moved.
  • Local authorities set additional limited‑scope January days off, including January 7 for Banco Provincia staff in Tres Picos and January 21 for Carhué’s foundation anniversary.
