When is New Year celebrated in Argentina in 2026?
In 2026, New Year's Day in Argentina is on January 1, 2026.
Are regional holidays included for Argentina?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of Argentina are listed separately on the Argentina holiday hub, together with the regions that observe them.
Do the Argentina holiday dates change from 2026 to the next year?
Some of them do. 3 of the 16 holidays in 2026 sit on a moving rule (linked to easter), so their date has to be recalculated for every year. The rest keep the same calendar date and only change weekday. Moving ones this year include Shrove Monday on February 16, 2026, Shrove Tuesday on February 17, 2026 and Good Friday on April 3, 2026.
How far ahead is the Argentina calendar actually fixed?
Through 2026. The national executive sets the puentes turÃsticos, the bridge days, by decree one year at a time, so anything past that is computed from the rules in force rather than read off an official list. No corrections to the underlying dataset were needed for Argentina.
Which Argentina holidays are regional, and which move?
The table above is the national calendar for 2026. Some holidays keep the same date every year while others are tied to Easter, to a lunar calendar or to a named weekday, and some parts of the country add their own days off. The Argentina holiday hub breaks that down: which holidays are fixed, which move and why, and which ones are observed in certain regions only.
