I just checked the 2026 holiday calendar, and honestly, the long weekend for Carnival (February 16 and 17) was pretty good. Two days off that added to the Saturday and Sunday, so four full days of rest. It just passed recently, but now looking at the rest of the year, there are quite a few important dates.

What surprised me is that if you worked on those Carnival days, you had to get double pay. That’s well thought out by the law. Then, looking at the full calendar, in July there are several holidays too — July 9th is Independence Day plus a non-working day on the 10th, so with that, how many days does July have in total... it’s quite a few days off if you plan it well.

Beyond Carnival, the year has a lot of dates: Holy Week in April, Labor Day in May, and all the proceres celebrations in different months. Gualeguaychú really stood out with its parades, but well, that’s in the past now. Did you take advantage of those four days?
