Number of extended weekends in 2025
Long Weekends in Argentina's Remaining Months of 2025
Argentine residents and visitors alike can look forward to several extended weekends in the last part of 2025. Here's a breakdown of the long weekends based on official national holidays:
October 2025
October 12, 2025 (Monday): Day of Respect for Cultural Diversity (Día del Respeto a la Diversidad Cultural) - This holiday is traditionally observed on the second Monday of October, creating a long weekend.
November 2025
November 21, 2025 (Monday): A non-working day with tourist purposes, known as "Puente de la Inmaculada Concepción." On this day, employers have the discretion to decide whether to work or not. If they do, employees are paid their regular wage.
November 24, 2025 (Thursday): National Sovereignty Day (Día de la Soberanía Nacional), which has been moved from its original date of November 20. If you work on this day, you must be paid double your regular wage.
The second long weekend in November will be four days long, from November 21 to 24.
December 2025
December 8, 2025 (Monday): Immaculate Conception Day (Día de la Inmaculada Concepción) - This is an unmovable holiday celebrating the Immaculate Conception of Mary and falls on a Monday, providing a long weekend.
December 25, 2025 (Friday): Christmas Day - This holiday is also an unmovable holiday and, if included with the bridge day of December 26, can create a long weekend.
The last long weekend of the year will be on December 6, 7, and 8.
These holidays are recognised as national public holidays and typically result in long weekends depending on how they fall during the week. However, the exact dates may be adjusted by official government announcements, and some holidays like Carnival and Good Friday vary yearly with the lunar calendar, but those fall earlier in the year for 2025.
The official calendar of holidays and non-working days for the rest of 2025 has been issued by the Office of the Chief of Cabinet. During national holidays, the same norms of Sunday rest apply, as per Argentine labor laws. If an employee works on a national holiday, they must be paid double their regular wage.
