Why does Mexico observe some holidays on Mondays?
Since a 2006 reform of the Federal Labor Law, three holidays are observed on Mondays to create long weekends ('puentes'): Constitution Day on the first Monday of February, Benito Juárez's Birthday on the third Monday of March, and Revolution Day on the third Monday of November. In 2026 these fall on 2 February, 16 March, and 16 November.
