Campinas establishment of Evangelical Day holiday

Overview

The city of Campinas, Brazil, established the ‘Dia do Evangélico’ (Evangelical Day) as a municipal holiday under Law No. 16.785. The designation follows local celebrations, including a gospel music festival at Arena Cafezinho featuring various Brazilian artists.

On August 12, the city observed its first such holiday in 23 years. While the holiday suspended most administrative services in municipal agencies and public foundations, essential services—including emergency health units, SAMU, the Municipal Guard, and Civil Defense—remained operational on 24-hour shifts.

Mayor Dário Saadi applied a partial veto to the law to remove requirements for public funding or official state support for religious celebrations, citing the constitutional principle of state secularism.
