Overview

  • Friday, Nov. 21 is designated a tourism non‑working day by Decree 1027/2024, the third and final such date of 2025.
  • Monday, Nov. 24 is the transferred Día de la Soberanía Nacional, a compulsory national holiday moved from Nov. 20.
  • Under Law 20,744, work on Nov. 24 must be paid at double rate, while work on Nov. 21 is paid at the normal rate and attendance depends on each employer.
  • Major supermarket chains plan to open on both Friday and Monday, though some stores may adjust hours.
  • Buenos Aires municipalities Olavarría and Presidente Perón set Tuesday, Nov. 25 as a local holiday for public employees, creating five consecutive days of rest for those affected.
