About Portugal Public Holidays
Portugal observes 13 national public holidays in 2027, established under the Portuguese Labour Code (Código do Trabalho). These holidays are divided into two categories: fixed-date holidays that fall on the same calendar date every year, and moveable holidays whose dates shift annually based on the Easter calendar. Fixed holidays include celebrated occasions such as New Year's Day (January 1), Liberty Day (April 25) commemorating the Carnation Revolution of 1974, Portugal Day (June 10), and Christmas Day (December 25). Moveable holidays in 2027 are Good Friday (March 26), Easter Monday (March 29), and Corpus Christi (June 17), all of which are calculated relative to the Easter Sunday date of March 28, 2027.
Portuguese public holidays carry significant cultural and historical weight. Liberty Day (Dia da Liberdade) on April 25 marks the 1974 military coup that ended 48 years of authoritarian rule and restored democracy — one of the most important dates in modern Portuguese history. Republic Day (October 5) celebrates the proclamation of the Portuguese Republic in 1910, while Restoration of Independence Day (December 1) honours the 1640 uprising that ended 60 years of Iberian Union under Spain. Together with the major Catholic feast days — Corpus Christi, the Assumption of Mary, All Saints' Day, and the Immaculate Conception — these holidays reflect Portugal's dual identity as a historically Catholic nation and a modern democratic republic.
