Overview
- General Villegas’s local government decreed July 28 a non-laborable day for municipal public administration to commemorate its 139th foundation anniversary.
- Banks, industry, commerce and other private sectors may choose whether to observe the July 28 holiday, as it is optional for non-public entities.
- A presidential decree sets Friday, August 15 as a national non-laborable tourism day for the Paso a la Inmortalidad del General José de San Martín.
- The August tourism day creates a three-day weekend from Friday through Sunday without extending to the following Monday despite industry calls for a four-day break.
- These measures align with the 2025 holiday calendar that scrapped traditional puente feriados in favor of three optional tourism days—May 2, August 15 and November 21—to encourage domestic travel.
