The national holidays calendar in Argentina for the year 2025 has been confirmed and includes several long weekends. Among them are dates such as Carnival, Memorial Day, Veterans Day of the Malvinas, Labor Day, and other holidays that will allow Argentinians to enjoy extended days of rest.
A new feature is the inclusion of a new holiday on the upcoming Monday, February 3, which will provide the opportunity for those planning a tourist getaway to enjoy a long weekend. This holiday commemorates the Battle of Caseros, a confrontation that occurred on February 3, 1852.
It is important to note that this additional holiday is not national but will specifically benefit the Province of Entre Ríos, granting it an extra day of rest. In this sense, businesses and industries within the province can decide whether to observe this non-working day.
The national holidays calendar for 2025 foresees the first long weekend at the national level for Carnival, which will be celebrated from Saturday, March 1 to Tuesday, March 4. In addition, dates have been established for other holidays such as Memorial Day, Veterans Day and the Fallen in the Malvinas War, Labor Day, and more significant dates.
The Battle of Caseros, commemorated on February 3, is a historical event where the Grande Army, led by Justo José de Urquiza, defeated the army of the Argentine Confederation led by Juan Manuel de Rosas. This day will be a day of rest for public administration employees and banks in Entre Ríos, who will celebrate this date with commemorative events.
