National Holidays

Brazil's national holidays are dates of great historical, cultural and religious importance to the country. Knowing the correct dates of holidays is essential for planning trips, vacations, business projects and educational activities.

Brazil has one of the highest numbers of national holidays in the world, totaling 12 fixed holidays per year, plus moveable holidays such as Carnival, Holy Week and Corpus Christi. This represents approximately 15 to 18 non-working days per year, depending on which day of the week each holiday falls.

Our tool presents all national holidays with detailed information about the origin of each date, its historical and cultural significance and the legislation that governs it. This is especially useful for educators, historians and anyone who wants to better understand Brazilian culture and history.

For companies and self-employed professionals, knowing holidays in advance is essential for planning deliveries, business trips and work schedules. Our list is updated annually with the most recent information.

The tool also automatically calculates moveable holidays for any year, eliminating the need to consult multiple sources or perform complex manual calculations.
