Various regions in Brazil are observing local holidays throughout September 2026. 

Mid-month observances include municipal holidays on September 15 in at least 21 cities, many driven by religious devotion to Nossa Senhora das Dores, and others marking municipal emancipation anniversaries. On September 16, the state of Alagoas observes a state holiday for its 209th anniversary of political emancipation from Pernambuco, affecting 102 municipalities including Maceió. 

Later in the month, on September 28, several municipalities have scheduled holidays for city anniversaries and historical milestones. These include Resende, celebrating its 225th anniversary, as well as Campo Belo and Visconde do Rio Branco in Minas Gerais. While these local holidays may affect banks and public administration, essential services such as health, security, and emergency medical care typically remain operational.
