Mexico Public Holidays 2026

In 2026, Mexico observes 11 public holidays, beginning with New Year's Day on January 1 and ending with Christmas Day on December 25. 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.

Mexico moved several of its civic holidays to Mondays by constitutional reform in 2006, so Constitution Day, Benito Juarez Day, and Revolution Day now always produce long weekends regardless of their historical dates. The statutory week allows 48 hours, and six-day patterns remain common outside office work.
