Overview
- Tiradentes, which falls on Tuesday, April 21, is confirmed as the next national holiday.
- The federal calendar names Monday, April 20 as a ponto facultativo for public servants, an optional day off that usually does not cover private workers.
- Brazil has 10 national holidays in 2026, and nine land on weekdays that make long weekends easier to plan.
- Essential services may stay open on holidays, and workers who are required to work have the right to double pay or a compensatory day off.
- States add their own dates, with Espírito Santo observing Nossa Senhora da Penha on Monday, April 13, and Rio de Janeiro marking São Jorge on Thursday, April 23.
