Overview

  • The official calendar shows no national holidays in September, with the next set for Sunday, Oct. 12, marking Día del Respeto a la Diversidad Cultural.
  • Argentina’s next nationwide long weekend is scheduled from Friday, Nov. 21, to Monday, Nov. 24, combining a tourism puente day and a moved Día de la Soberanía Nacional.
  • The government chose not to trasladar the Aug. 17 Paso a la Inmortalidad holiday to Monday, Aug. 18, so most workers returned to their usual schedules.
  • Multiple Buenos Aires municipalities—including General Rivas, Tres Algarrobos, Adolfo Gonzales Chaves, Beruti and Hurlingham—have issued local asuetos on various late-August dates, closing public offices and banks.
  • Tourism non-working days and municipal asuetos differ from fixed national holidays in eligibility and pay rules, with tourism days optional for private employers at standard rates.
