Argentina Independence Day Falls Midweek With No Bridge Holiday as Towns Add Local Rest Days

Under Law 27.399, the national holiday on July 9 remains immovable, prompting municipalities from Campana to Río Grande to schedule extra non-working days around local foundation anniversaries.

Overview

  • Law 27.399 classifies July 9 as an immovable feriado, ensuring Independence Day stays on Wednesday without a shifted or extended weekend
  • A 2024 decree removed all puente feriados for 2025, so no bridge holiday accompanies the midweek Independence Day
  • Campana and Córdoba will grant a local non-working day on Monday, July 7, in observance of their foundation anniversaries
  • Ingeniero Balbín and Río Grande have declared Friday, July 11, non-working days to mark their respective foundation celebrations
  • Argentina’s next national long weekend runs August 15–17, with August 15 designated as a tourism-focused non-working day for the Paso a la Inmortalidad of General José de San Martín
