Overview

  • Multiple Buenos Aires Province districts, including Merlo, Hurlingham, La Angelita and Saldungaray, set Friday, August 29, as a local non-working day tied to anniversaries and patronal festivities.
  • Saldungaray officially decreed the date for its 125th anniversary, confirming closure for the local public sector with private businesses able to decide whether to observe it.
  • The measures create localized three-day weekends in those municipalities, and some Banco Provincia branches in the affected areas will close.
  • Hilario Ascasubi in the Villarino district decreed a separate municipal asueto for Monday, September 1, yielding an extended weekend for residents there.
  • Argentina has no national holidays in September; the next nationwide long weekend arrives November 21–24, while in Mexico the fixed September 16 holiday will not move and working it triggers triple pay under the labor law.
