Brazil holiday calendar features national and municipal dates

Brazil's upcoming holiday calendar includes several national holidays and municipal observances through 2026. Key national dates include Our Lady of Aparecida on October 12, All Souls' Day on November 2, the Proclamation of the Republic on November 15, Black Awareness Day on November 20, and Christmas on December 25.

Additionally, several municipal holidays and optional service days (pontos facultativos) are scheduled. In Salvador, Our Lady of the Conception of the Beach is observed on December 8. Other upcoming dates include Public Service Day on October 28 and Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve as optional holidays.

On a local level, various municipalities across several states—including Bahia, Ceará, Goiás, Maranhão, Minas Gerais, Mato Grosso do Sul, Pará, Paraíba, Pernambuco, Piauí, Paraná, and Rio de Janeiro—observe holidays for religious celebrations or city anniversaries. The impact of these holidays on workers varies by sector and local legislation, with private sector rules often determined by collective bargaining agreements.
