Argentina Public Holidays 2025
Argentina’s 2025 calendar rests on Ley 24.445 (the holidays themselves) and Ley 27.399 (which decides how the movable ones shift); Decreto 1027/2024 added three non-mandatory tourism days no laborables and Resolución 139/2025 moved one weekend holiday. It lists 16 feriados nacionales — every one a paid, mandatory day off. Of the four movable anniversaries, three move — Güemes to Monday 16 June, Cultural Diversity to Friday 10 October and Sovereignty to Monday 24 November — while San Martín Day stays on Sunday 17 August and, like 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 each year the executive adds to that. For 2025, Decreto 1027/2024 designates the three optional tourism days, and a Resolución of the Jefatura de Gabinete de Ministros (139/2025, under Decreto 614/2025) moved the one movable holiday that fell on a weekend and could still be moved. This page follows those instruments as gazetted, so the 2025 dates below are confirmed.
The feriados trasladables rule — and what happened to the two Sunday anniversaries
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 both weekday 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, so a movable anniversary that falls on a Saturday or Sunday stays where it is — until Decreto 614/2025 (27 August 2025) let the Jefatura de Gabinete de Ministros move such a date to the following Monday or the preceding Friday. San Martín Day fell on Sunday 17 August, before that decree, and was not moved: it is lost to the weekend. Cultural Diversity Day fell on Sunday 12 October and Resolución 139/2025 (published 1 September 2025) moved it to Friday 10 October, giving a three-day weekend. Fixed (inamovible) holidays never move, so May Revolution Day on Sunday 25 May is the other 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 17, 2025), Day of Cultural Diversity (October 10, 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.
What happened to San Martín Day and Cultural Diversity Day in 2025?
Both anniversaries fell on a Sunday in 2025. Article 6 of Ley 27.399 only moves a movable holiday that lands on a Tuesday to Friday, so San Martín Day stayed on Sunday 17 August and gives no extra day off; Decreto 614/2025 (27 August) only later let the government move weekend dates. Under it, Resolución 139/2025 moved Cultural Diversity Day from Sunday 12 October to Friday 10 October, a three-day weekend. The optional tourism non-laborable Fridays (15 August, 21 November) can stretch the weekends around them 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.
