Falling on a weekend in 2026: Holy Saturday (Saturday, 4 Apr), National Indigenous Peoples Day (Sunday, 21 Jun), Assumption Day (Saturday, 15 Aug), Army Day (Saturday, 19 Sep), Reformation Day (Saturday, 31 Oct) and All Saints' Day (Sunday, 1 Nov).

For comparison: in 2026 the number of public holidays ranges from 16 (14 regions) to 17 (Arica y Parinacota and Ñuble). Biobío is among the regions with the fewest public holidays.

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.
