When is New Year celebrated in Colombia in 2025?
In 2025, New Year's Day in Colombia is on January 1, 2025.
Are regional holidays included for Colombia?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of Colombia are listed separately on the Colombia holiday hub, together with the regions that observe them.
Do the Colombia holiday dates change from 2025 to the next year?
Some of them do. 12 of the 18 holidays in 2025 sit on a moving rule (set weekday of the month and 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 Epiphany on January 6, 2025, Saint Joseph on March 24, 2025 and Maundy Thursday on April 17, 2025, plus 9 more.
How far ahead is the Colombia 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. This table also applies 1 correction to the underlying open dataset, each checked against the legislation. The full list with sources is on the Colombia holiday hub.
Which Colombia 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 Colombia holiday hub breaks that down: which holidays are fixed, which move and why, and which ones are observed in certain regions only.
