The Argentine government has officially confirmed three non‑working holidays for 2026 aimed at boosting tourism. The dates have been set to fall on Mondays or Fridays to create long weekends. The measure was published in Resolution 164/2025 of the Official Gazette.
The additional holidays are Monday March 23, Friday July 10, and Monday December 7. Each coincides with an existing national holiday, creating four consecutive days off. March 23 precedes the National Day of Memory, July 10 follows Independence Day, and December 7 precedes the Immaculate Conception.
The strategy seeks to stimulate the economy of sectors such as hospitality, gastronomy, and transport. Similar measures have been applied in previous years with positive results. Tourists can take advantage of these long weekends to explore Argentina’s cultural and natural wealth.
The full calendar includes holidays such as New Year’s Day, Carnival, the Day of Memory, Independence Day, and Christmas. Readers can consult the Official Gazette for complete details. These dates provide opportunities for both domestic and international travelers.
