About this calendar
In 2026, Colombia observes 18 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on and ending with Christmas Day 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.
Colombia's Emiliani Law moves most religious and civic holidays to the following Monday, which is why the country enjoys around 18 holidays a year and nearly all of them create long weekends called puentes. Only a handful of dates, like Christmas and Independence Day, stay fixed.
