About this calendar
In 2026, Brazil observes 19 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with New Year's Eve (from 2pm) on . These are official days on which government offices, banks, schools, and most businesses are closed.
Holidays here include a mix of fixed dates (such as New Year's Day and national independence days) and variable dates (such as religious holidays that follow lunar or ecclesiastical calendars). Variable holidays may shift by 1–2 days from year to year.
Brazil's constitution allows a 44-hour week, which many employers still structure as five full days plus Saturday morning. National holidays are celebrated on their actual date, but the government designates bridge days for federal workers when a holiday lands near a weekend, and Carnival, though technically not a national holiday, stops the country for the better part of a week.
