Overview
- National authorities have not declared September 21 a feriado nacional, so businesses and most public services will operate on normal schedules.
- The Buenos Aires Dirección General de Cultura y Educación confirmed that Monday 21 September will be an asueto for secondary schools, higher education and several special modalities.
- Children in initial and primary schools in Buenos Aires must attend classes as usual and universities will set their own schedules, with some institutions choosing to remain open.
- Some municipalities such as Loma Verde and Miramar have local holidays on Friday 18 September, which combined with the provincial asueto can give some residents a four-day break.
- The date honors Domingo F. Sarmiento and was fixed by student leaders in 1902, and this year the traditional spring celebrations fall near the astronomical equinox on September 22.
