Argentina Public Holidays (2025–2028)
Argentina’s 2026 calendar is fixed by Decreto 164/2025, building on Ley 24.445 (which lists the holidays) and Ley 27.399 (which sets how the movable ones shift). There are 16 feriados nacionales — days every worker is legally entitled to — plus three non-mandatory días no laborables for tourism. Because most movable holidays land on a Monday, the year delivers a strong run of natural fin de semana largo, headlined by the four-day Carnival break (14–17 Feb) and a four-day Holy Week (2–5 Apr).
