Overview
- Officials confirmed Friday, November 21, as a non-working day for tourism and moved Día de la Soberanía Nacional to Monday, November 24, forming a Friday–Monday break.
- The shift of the sovereignty holiday from the traditional November 20 date follows Ley 27.399 on movable holidays, with 2025 decrees broadening flexibility to create long weekends.
- Labor rules differ: the Monday feriado is mandatory rest or double pay if worked, whereas the Friday tourism day is optional for private employers and typically observed in the public, school and banking sectors.
- Separate from the national plan, several Buenos Aires municipalities set local holidays around Friday, October 31, creating limited three-day weekends primarily for public administration in those districts.
- In Peru, authorities reiterated that only Saturday, November 1, is a national holiday and no bridge days were declared, so Monday, November 3, and Tuesday, November 4, remain regular workdays.
