Dates as of Monday, September 28, 2026. Source: the open-source holidays library, version 0.105.How 2026 falls in Argentina
Counting Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, 18 of the 19 holiday dates in 2026 fall on a working day and 1 on a weekend.
Counting Saturday and Sunday as the weekend, 18 of the 19 holiday dates in 2026 fall on a working day and 1 on a weekend. 1 date carries more than one holiday, which is why the table lists 20 names for 19 dates. The most common weekday for a holiday is Monday, with 8 dates.
Twelve of the 19 dates land on a Monday or Friday, next to the weekend, so they make a long weekend without using any leave: Carnival Monday on Monday, February 16, Bridge Public Holiday on Monday, March 23, Good Friday on Friday, April 3, Labor Day on Friday, May 1, May Revolution Day on Monday, May 25, Pass to the Immortality of General Don Martín Miguel de Güemes on Monday, June 15, and 6 more. One more holiday sits one working day away from the weekend, so a single day of leave turns it into a four-day break: New Year's Day on Thursday, January 1 (take Friday off).
December is the busiest month, with 3 holiday dates. September has no public holiday at all. The longest stretch between two holidays is 56 days, from Pass to the Immortality of General Don José de San Martín on August 17 to Respect for Cultural Diversity Day on October 12, the natural window for a longer break.
3 entries are observed, substitute or bridge days that move holidays onto working days, for example Bridge Public Holiday on March 23.
2027 brings 17 public holidays, 3 holidays fewer than 2026. 13 of the 17 dates fall on a working day, and 8 land next to the weekend.
