Argentina Confirms 2026 Holiday Calendar With New Tourism Long Weekends

New Year’s Day is an inamovible national holiday that brings widespread closures and holiday service schedules.

Overview

  • The national government designated three tourism-purpose non-working days for 2026: Monday, March 23; Friday, July 10; and Monday, December 7.
  • Officials cited Law 27.399, which empowers the Executive to set up to three such days each year to encourage internal travel.
  • The Ministry of the Interior’s calendar lists 16 inamovible national holidays in 2026, including Thursday, January 1.
  • On January 1, supermarkets remain closed, public administration offices do not open, and banks have no in-branch service, with transport operating on holiday timetables.
  • Florencio Varela in Buenos Aires Province will observe January 30 as a local non-working day for many public-sector workers and Banco Provincia employees, which is not a national holiday.
