Falling on a weekend in 2026: Easter Sunday (Sunday, 5 Apr), Freedom Day (Saturday, 25 Apr), Assumption Day (Saturday, 15 Aug) and All Saints' Day (Sunday, 1 Nov).

Not a public holiday in every region, but in Aveiro: Saint Joanna's Day.

For comparison: in 2026 the number of public holidays ranges from 14 (19 regions) to 15 (Região Autónoma da Madeira). Aveiro 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.
