Overview

  • Friday, August 29 will be a local feriado in Merlo, Hurlingham, La Angelita (General Arenales) and Saldungaray (Tornquist) for foundation anniversaries and patronal celebrations.
  • Hilario Ascasubi in the partido of Villarino declared an asueto for Monday, September 1 tied to its founding festivities.
  • San Pedro set Monday, September 8 as a non-working day for its Virgen del Socorro patronal feast, creating a three-day weekend for that district.
  • These measures are mandatory for local public administration and affect Banco Provincia branches in the jurisdictions, while private-sector observance is at employers’ discretion.
  • Argentina’s national calendar lists no September feriados and the next nationwide long weekend is November 21–24; in Mexico, September 16 is a fixed federal holiday with triple pay for those who work.
