Argentina Public Holidays 2025
Argentina’s 2025 calendar was fixed by Decreto 1027/2024 under Ley 24.445 (the holidays themselves) and Ley 27.399 (which decides how the movable ones shift). It lists 16 feriados nacionales — every one a paid, mandatory day off — plus three non-mandatory tourism days no laborables. 2025 is a strong year for breaks: all four movable anniversaries are observed on Mondays (16 June, 18 August, 13 October, 24 November), and only the fixed May Revolution Day is absorbed by the weekend.

Tourism days that are not guaranteed off
The three días no laborables decreed for 2025 tourism (2 May, 15 August, 21 November — all Fridays) sit here on purpose: they are not in the main table, the calendar grid or the downloadable file, because whether you get them off depends on your employer.

How Argentina sets its 2025 holidays
Three layers of law decide the Argentine calendar. Ley 24.445 lists the days themselves; Ley 27.399 splits them into "inamovibles" (fixed dates that never move) and "feriados trasladables" (movable patriotic anniversaries), and then a Decreto — for 2025, Decreto 1027/2024 — publishes the definitive list and designates up to three extra tourism days. This page follows the Decreto as gazetted, so the 2025 dates below are confirmed.
The feriados trasladables rule — and how 2025 lost two breaks
The four movable patriotic holidays are Güemes (17 June), San Martín (17 August), Cultural Diversity (12 October) and National Sovereignty (20 November). Article 6 of Ley 27.399 pulls a movable holiday that falls on a Tuesday or Wednesday back to the previous Monday, and pushes one on a Thursday or Friday forward to the next Monday. 2025 shows all three outcomes at once: June 17 was a Tuesday, so Güemes was observed on Monday 16 June; November 20 was a Thursday, so Sovereignty moved to Monday 24 November.
The catch is the weekday it lands on. Article 6 of Ley 27.399 names only Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday and Friday; when a movable anniversary falls on a Saturday or Sunday the annual decree decides, and in practice it moves it to the following Monday. That is exactly what Decreto 1027/2024 did for 2025, placing San Martín Day on Monday 18 August and Cultural Diversity Day on Monday 13 October. Fixed (inamovible) holidays never move, so May Revolution Day on Sunday 25 May is the single day 2025 loses to the weekend.
Feriado nacional vs día no laborable — what actually gets you paid
A feriado nacional is a true public holiday: the whole country is treated as being off, and an employee who works one is owed an enhanced (typically double) rate. A día no laborable is a recommendation aimed at easing travel; employers may choose to work or not, and if you work a non-laborable day you are generally paid at your normal rate. Argentina uses non-laborable days for three tourism bridges — in 2025 those are Friday 2 May, Friday 15 August and Friday 21 November. Because they are optional they are listed separately here and never enter the downloadable calendar file — only the 16 feriados nacionales do.

Frequently asked questions
How many national holidays does Argentina have in 2025?
Sixteen feriados nacionales, all mandatory paid days off under Ley 24.445 as arranged by Ley 27.399 and confirmed for 2025 by Decreto 1027/2024. The decree adds three non-mandatory tourism days no laborables (2 May, 15 August, 21 November).
What is the longest holiday break in Argentina in 2025?
The longest break in Argentina is Carnival (Mar 1 – 4, 4 days).
What are the official public holidays in Argentina in 2025?
Argentina has 16 official public holidays in 2025: New Year's Day (January 1, 2025), Carnival Monday (March 3, 2025), Carnival Tuesday (March 4, 2025), Day of Memory for Truth and Justice (March 24, 2025), Malvinas Veterans Day (April 2, 2025), Good Friday (April 18, 2025), Labour Day (May 1, 2025), May Revolution Day (May 25, 2025), Güemes Day (June 16, 2025), National Flag Day (June 20, 2025), Independence Day (July 9, 2025), San Martín Day (August 18, 2025), Day of Cultural Diversity (October 13, 2025), National Sovereignty Day (November 24, 2025), Immaculate Conception (December 8, 2025), Christmas Day (December 25, 2025).
When is Carnival and Easter in Argentina in 2025?
Carnival is Monday 3 and Tuesday 4 March, forming a four-day break with the weekend. Easter Sunday is 20 April; the nationally observed holiday is Good Friday on 18 April, which gives a three-day weekend.
Why do San Martín Day and Cultural Diversity Day give no long weekend in 2025?
Because both anniversaries fall on a Sunday in 2025 (17 August, 12 October), and the annual decree moves a movable holiday that lands on the weekend to the following Monday. Article 6 of Ley 27.399 covers the Tuesday-to-Friday cases and leaves the weekend to the decree, which Decreto 1027/2024 used to create Monday breaks on 18 August and 13 October. The government also added optional tourism non-laborable Fridays (15 August, 21 November) to stretch those weekends further.
Which 2025 holidays are not allowed to move?
The nine inamovibles: New Year’s Day, Day of Memory (24 March), Malvinas Day (2 April), Labour Day, May Revolution Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, Immaculate Conception and Christmas. They are kept on their exact dates whatever weekday they fall on — which is why 25 May 2025 (Sunday) was lost to the weekend.
What are the best puentes to plan around in 2025?
Two stand out. Labour Day on Thursday 1 May plus the tourism non-laborable Friday 2 May gives a four-day break; Christmas on Thursday 25 December plus a single day of leave on Friday 26 December gives another four-day break. Carnival (1–4 March) and the Day of Memory (22–24 March) are free three-to-four-day weekends needing no leave at all.
