Falling on a weekend in 2026: Pass to the Immortality of General Don Manuel Belgrano (Saturday, 20 Jun).
Not a public holiday in every province, but in San Juan: Teacher's Day.
For comparison: in 2026 the number of public holidays ranges from 20 (11 provinces) to 27 (La Rioja). San Juan lies in between with 21.
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.
