Argentina Finalizes 2026 Holiday Calendar, Flags April 2 Overlap

Officials set tourism-focused non-working days to build long weekends.

Overview

  • The national government published the official 2026 schedule detailing fixed holidays, movable dates, and sector-dependent non-working days.
  • Thursday, April 2 combines the immovable Malvinas Day with Holy Thursday, and neither observance can be moved under law or liturgical rules.
  • Good Friday falls on April 3, making that week a de facto extended break for many workplaces and schools.
  • Carnival will be observed on Monday, February 16 and Tuesday, February 17, and tourism-focused non-working days were set for March 23, July 10, and December 7.
  • Separately, Buenos Aires Province declared January 7 a day off only for Banco Provincia employees and local public officials in Tres Picos, while Mexico confirmed seven mandatory federal rest days for 2026.
