When is New Year celebrated in Mexico in 2026?
In 2026, New Year's Day in Mexico is on January 1, 2026.
Are regional holidays included for Mexico?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of Mexico are listed separately on the Mexico holiday hub, together with the regions that observe them.
Do the Mexico holiday dates change from 2026 to the next year?
Some of them do. 3 of the 7 holidays in 2026 sit on a moving rule (set weekday of the month), 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 Constitution Day on February 2, 2026, Benito Juárez's birthday on March 16, 2026 and Revolution Day on November 16, 2026.
How far ahead is the Mexico 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 Mexico.
Which Mexico 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 Mexico holiday hub breaks that down: which holidays are fixed, which move and why, and which ones are observed in certain regions only.
