About this calendar
In 2026, Panama observes 19 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.
Panama compensates weekend collisions: when a national holiday falls on a Sunday, the following Monday becomes a day off. November is the month to plan around, with a cluster of independence-related holidays that Panamanians call the Fiestas Patrias.
