Overview

• Jefatura de Gabinete formalized the change through Resolution 139/2025, shifting the Día del Respeto a la Diversidad Cultural from Sunday, October 12, to Friday, October 10.
• Sunday, October 12, will be a normal Sunday this year after the transfer of the observance to the preceding Friday.
• Decree 614/2025 closes a gap in Law 27,399 by authorizing moves when trasladable holidays fall on a Saturday or Sunday, with the Cabinet designated as the implementing authority.
• Because October 10 is a feriado nacional rather than a día no laborable, employees required to work must receive the legal holiday premium of double pay under the Labor Contract Law.
• The government cites tourism and regional commerce as the rationale for the long weekend, with the remaining 2025 dates including Nov. 21 (non‑laborable tourism day), Nov. 24 (Sovereignty Day moved), Dec. 8, and Dec. 25, while some municipalities will observe local asuetos on Monday, October 13.
