Falling on a weekend in 2026: Pass to the Immortality of General Don Manuel Belgrano (Saturday, 20 Jun) and Feasts of the Lord and the Virgin of Miracle (Sunday, 13 Sep).

Not a public holiday in every province, but in Salta: Anniversary of the Battle of Salta, Day of Memory of General Don Martín Miguel de Güemes, Feasts of the Lord and the Virgin of Miracle, Feasts of the Lord and the Virgin of Miracle and Feasts of the Lord and the Virgin of Miracle.

For comparison: in 2026 the number of public holidays ranges from 20 (11 provinces) to 27 (La Rioja). Salta lies in between with 25.

Days marked "observed" are substitute days off when a holiday falls on a weekend. Holidays based on a lunar calendar can shift by a day once the official announcement is made.

Dates are generated from the open-source library python-holidays and automatically cross-checked against Nager.Date and the public Google Calendar holiday calendars; every holiday on a working day must be confirmed by a second source. Official announcements take precedence, especially for holidays that depend on the moon or are declared at short notice.
