Frequently asked questions

When is New Year celebrated in Portugal in 2027?
In 2027, New Year's Day in Portugal is on January 1, 2027.
Are regional holidays included for Portugal?
No. This calendar lists national public holidays only, so it stays consistent across countries. Holidays that apply to just part of Portugal are listed separately on the Portugal holiday hub, together with the regions that observe them.
Do the Portugal holiday dates change from 2027 to the next year?
Some of them do. 3 of the 13 holidays in 2027 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 March 26, 2027, Easter Sunday on March 28, 2027 and Corpus Christi on May 27, 2027.
How far ahead is the Portugal 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 Portugal.
Which Portugal 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 Portugal holiday hub breaks that down: which holidays are fixed, which move and why, and which ones are observed in certain regions only.
