This page answers one question: is today a public holiday in Chile? It takes today's date in the Chile timezone (America/Santiago) and checks it against the official holiday calendars we publish for Chile (2025–2028), every one sourced from government announcements. The status is computed live when the page loads, so the answer is correct whenever you open it — and the date rolls over at local midnight, not ours.
Planning around the next day off? The full Chile 2026 calendar lists all 16 holidays with their exact dates and long-weekend layout, and the Chile country hub links every year we publish. Each year page also offers free ICS, CSV and PDF downloads, so the whole calendar can live in Google, Apple or Outlook — and a subscription picks up any official revision automatically.

Frequently asked questions
How does this page decide whether today is a holiday in Chile?
It reads today's date in the Chile timezone (America/Santiago) and compares it with the official Chile holiday calendars we publish (2025–2028). If today falls inside any holiday window — including between the start and end of a multi-day break — the page says yes. The check runs live on every visit, and the date flips at local midnight.
How many public holidays does Chile have in 2026?
Chile has 16 public holidays in 2026. The matching year calendar lists every one, flagging those that fall on a weekend and any substitute days granted for them.
What are the first and last public holidays of 2026 in Chile?
The 2026 calendar opens with New Year's Day (Año Nuevo) on Jan 1 and closes with Christmas Day (Navidad), ending Dec 25.
Does Chile have public holidays that span multiple days?
Every 2026 public holiday in Chile is a single day — no official multi-day block. When one lands next to a weekend it still makes a longer break, and the year page lists all of them.
Where do the dates come from?
Every date comes from an official Chile government notice or gazette, linked one by one at the bottom of the country year page, and is cross-checked against a second independent source. We update the page when a new arrangement is published.
Can I add Chile's holidays to my calendar?
Yes. The Chile year page offers free ICS, CSV and PDF files that import into Google, Apple or Outlook Calendar, and subscribing to the ICS URL keeps your calendar updated if the government revises a date.
