Today, Monday, October 28, the Buenos Aires municipalities of Leandro N. Alem (17,266 inhabitants) and Suipacha (11,786 inhabitants) are enjoying a surprise holiday. This day off is due to the "founding anniversary" and the commemorative patron celebrations of these places in northwestern Buenos Aires, allowing their inhabitants and some private employees to enjoy a well-deserved rest.
During this special holiday, various activities will take place in both municipalities, including religious, cultural, and gastronomic events, providing entertainment for young people and adults. Additionally, a work stoppage has been declared for the public sector in both localities as part of the celebrations.
The next national holiday in Argentina will be on Monday, November 18, for National Sovereignty Day, which is actually commemorated on the 20th of the same month but is moved to create a long weekend. The decision to move certain dates aims to promote domestic tourism and allow citizens to enjoy short getaways.
In the 2024 holiday calendar in Argentina, various categories of holidays are established, including immovable and movable holidays. Among the immovable holidays, January 1 (New Year's Day), March 24 (National Day of Memory for Truth and Justice), and May 25 (May Revolution Day) stand out, among others.
Furthermore, long weekends are planned throughout the year 2024. These special dates offer the population the chance to plan mini-vacations and enjoy moments of rest and recreation. Holidays are an opportunity to celebrate the history and culture of the country, as well as to strengthen national identity and a sense of belonging.
