Chilean commerce to remain open during upcoming holidays

Supermarkets, shopping malls, and commercial centers in Chile will operate normally during the upcoming holidays on October 31 and November 1. The first holiday commemorates the Day of Evangelical and Protestant Churches, while November 1 marks All Saints Day.

Unlike Chile's five mandatory non-working holidays for retail workers, these two dates do not require business closures. Consequently, most establishments are expected to maintain their usual operating hours, though some may implement specific schedules.

In addition to the holidays, various municipalities are organizing community events. For example, Providencia is hosting the “Halloween Entre Calles” event to support local commerce, and La Florida is organizing the Expo Animé Horror Fest.
