Holidays that shift each year
1 of Brazil's public holidays land on a different date each year, following a lunar calendar, a religious calendar or a rule such as “the third Monday in January”. These are the ones to watch when you plan ahead:
- Sexta-Feira Santa: 2025-04-18, 2025 · 2026-04-03, 2026 · 2027-03-26, 2027
A further 9 holidays keep the same date every year and aren't affected by these rules.
