Argentina's May 1 holiday for Labor Day kicks off a long weekend extending to Sunday the 3rd. The 2026 calendar features multiple similar breaks throughout the year for rest and travel.
Friday, May 1, an immovable holiday for Labor Day, starts Argentina's first long weekend of 2026. The break lasts through Sunday the 3rd, offering relief from work routines.
The official calendar sets additional rest periods. June's transfer of the holiday for General Martín Miguel de Güemes' Paso a la Inmortalidad creates a weekend from Saturday the 13th to Monday the 15th. Others follow: July from Thursday the 9th to Sunday the 12th with a bridge holiday on Friday the 10th; August from Saturday the 15th to Monday the 17th for San Martín; October from Saturday the 10th to Monday the 12th for Cultural Diversity; November from Saturday the 21st to Monday the 23rd for National Sovereignty; and December from Saturday the 5th to Tuesday the 8th.
Remaining immovable holidays are May 25, June 20, July 9, December 8, and December 25. Transferable ones, such as June 15 instead of 17, August 17, October 12, and November 23 for the 20th, aim to cluster days off with weekends to boost tourism.
Non-working days like July 10 and December 7 supplement the schedule, varying by employer.
