Mexico observes a compact list of official public holidays under its Federal Labour Law, several of which are deliberately moved to the nearest Monday to create long weekends known as "puentes." The calendar mixes patriotic dates — Independence Day, Revolution Day — with civic tributes to historical figures like Benito Juárez. Notably, widely celebrated cultural dates like Día de los Muertos and Cinco de Mayo are not official nationwide public holidays. Below is the full 2026 calendar.
