About Argentina Public Holidays
Argentina's national public holidays are established by national law and supplemented each year by executive decree. The holiday system covers three main categories: national commemorations marking key events in Argentine independence and history (such as May Revolution Day on May 25 and Independence Day on July 9); religious observances rooted in the country's strong Catholic tradition (including Good Friday, Immaculate Conception, and Christmas); and cultural and social holidays such as Labour Day, the Day of Cultural Diversity (formerly Columbus Day), and Carnival. Argentina observes Carnival across two days — typically the Saturday and Sunday before Ash Wednesday — which is a festive tradition especially prominent in the provinces of Entre Ríos, Corrientes, and the Buenos Aires carnival circuit.
Several Argentine holidays are tied to the memory of national heroes and historical struggles. The Day of the Veterans and Fallen of the Malvinas War (April 2) honours those who fought in the 1982 Falklands/Malvinas conflict, while the National Day of Memory for Truth and Justice (March 24) commemorates the victims of the 1976 military coup and the subsequent dictatorship. The holiday marking the Death of General José de San Martín is observed on the third Monday of August, a moveable date that ensures workers always receive a long weekend. Columbus Day was renamed the Day of Respect for Cultural Diversity in 2010 to acknowledge the indigenous heritage of Argentina and broader Latin America, and it is likewise shifted to the nearest Monday when it falls mid-week.
