Public Holidays in Brazil

Public holidays, bank holidays and observances in Brazil for 2026

Brazil observes 11 national public holidays each year, reflecting the nation's Catholic heritage, republican history, and unparalleled cultural vibrancy. Carnival, though technically not an official federal holiday, is universally celebrated and effectively shuts down the country for nearly a week. Independence Day on September 7th and Republic Day on November 15th anchor the civic calendar, while religious observances from Good Friday to Christmas underscore Brazil's deep Catholic roots.
