About holidays in Argentina
Argentina's holidays are either fixed or movable; the movable ones shift to a Monday to make long weekends. Holy Thursday is only a non-working day, and since 2025 the up to three tourist days the government picks each year are non-working days too, so neither appears here — private employers decide whether to close. Provinces and towns add their own holidays.
