Americas Holidays 2026

The face of the Americas calendar

Latin America is densest with Catholic festivals mixed with national days: Semana Santa, independence days (the 1810–1826 wave) and indigenous holidays (Inti Raymi, Día de los Muertos). The English-speaking countries are more «frugal»: the United States has 11 federal holidays and Canada 5–9 statutory days depending on the province, with a habit of moving holidays to the nearest Monday (Memorial Day, Labour Day) so a long weekend forms.
