About Argentina Public Holidays
Argentina's national public holidays are established by law and supplemented by annual executive decrees. Carnival is observed on the Monday and Tuesday before Ash Wednesday; in 2027 those dates are February 8–9. National Sovereignty Day is November 20. All Souls' Day is an observance but is not a nationwide public holiday, so it has been removed from this calendar.
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.
