Frequently Asked Questions
How many long weekends are there in Chile in 2026?
There are 9 long-weekend periods in Chile in 2026. The longest lasts 3 days on 3-5 April 2026, covering Good Friday and Holy Saturday.
What is the official source for the 2026 Chile holiday calendar?
The official source is Chile Feriados Nacionales 2026 (Gob.cl / Biblioteca del Congreso Nacional) (The sixteen national feriados of 2026. Five are 'irrenunciable' (retail must close): 1 January, 1 May, 18–19 September, and 25 December. The Ley 19.668 Monday-moves are no-ops in 2026 because Sts Peter and Paul (29 June) and Meeting of Two Worlds Day (12 October) already fall on Mondays. Regional feriados are not included).
What does 'feriado irrenunciable' mean in Chile?
An irrenunciable holiday is one on which most retail and commerce employees may not be required to work — shops and malls close, with exceptions such as pharmacies, petrol stations, and restaurants. In 2026 there are five: New Year's Day, Labour Day, both Fiestas Patrias days (18–19 September), and Christmas Day.
Which Chilean holidays move to a Monday?
Under Ley 19.668, Saints Peter and Paul and the Meeting of Two Worlds Day move to the nearest Monday when they fall midweek, and the Evangelical Churches Day (31 October) moves to a Friday when it falls Tuesday–Thursday. In 2026 none of these moves apply: 29 June and 12 October already fall on Mondays, and 31 October is a Saturday.
