When is New Year celebrated in Brazil in 2025?
In 2025, New Year's Day in Brazil is on 1 January 2025.
Are regional holidays included for Brazil?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of Brazil are listed separately on the Brazil holiday hub, together with the states that observe them.
Do the Brazil holiday dates change from 2025 to the next year?
Some of them do. One of the 10 holidays in 2025 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 Good Friday on 18 April 2025.
How far ahead is the Brazil calendar actually fixed?
Through 2027. The holidays are set in law rather than announced year by year, so the dates repeat predictably. What can still change is a law amendment, a one-off holiday declared for a national event, and the exact day of any holiday on the Islamic calendar, which is confirmed by moon sighting. No corrections to the underlying dataset were needed for Brazil.
Which Brazil holidays are regional, and which move?
The table above is the national calendar for 2025. 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 Brazil holiday hub breaks that down: which holidays are fixed, which move and why, and which ones are observed in certain regions only.

Knowing the dates is half the question. The other half is what they add up to: which of them create a long weekend and how many working days the year leaves. The 2025 worldwide overview compares every country on holiday count and weekend overlap, and the country index ranks all 44 of them.
