Colombia Public Holidays 2027
Colombia has 19 national public holidays in 2027, starting with New Year's Day on 1 January 2027 and ending with Christmas Day on 25 December 2027. Christmas Day lands on a Saturday in 2027, on 25 December 2027, and no substitute weekday is granted for it here, so it costs the calendar a day off compared with a year when it falls midweek.

Frequently asked questions
How many public holidays does Colombia have in 2027?

When is New Year celebrated in Colombia in 2027?
In 2027, New Year's Day in Colombia is on 1 January 2027.
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 2027 to the next year?
Some of them do. 13 of the 19 holidays in 2027 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 11 January 2027, Saint Joseph on 22 March 2027 and Maundy Thursday on 25 March 2027, plus 10 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 2027. 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.

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 2027 worldwide overview compares every country on holiday count and weekend overlap, and the country index ranks all 44 of them. The same figures are available as JSON, and the dates as a calendar file.
