Overview

• Resolution 139/2025 from the Cabinet Chief’s Office moves the Día del Respeto a la Diversidad Cultural from Sunday, October 12, 2025, to Friday, October 10.
• The change establishes a national holiday on Friday with mandatory rest and premium pay, producing a three-day weekend from October 10 to 12.
• The measure applies the new framework that allows movable holidays falling on weekends to be observed on a nearby weekday to support domestic travel.
• Tourism operators pressed for the switch following an initial official stance to keep the date, though businesses report muted expectations for a quick recovery in spending, including in San Luis.
• Schools could receive an additional day off on Monday, October 27, if the Education Ministry issues the customary post-election asueto, a decision that has not yet been confirmed.
