Public Holidays in Mexico

Día de la Constitución

7 Feb 2011

Constitution Day honors Mexico's 1917 Constitution, a landmark document that shaped modern Mexico's rights, institutions, and social reforms. The holiday is observed on the first Monday of February to create a long weekend, making it a popular time for travel and local events. It is an official nationwide day off.

Natalicio de Benito Juárez

21 Mar 2011

This holiday celebrates Benito Juárez, one of Mexico's most influential presidents and a symbol of civic reform and national sovereignty. Observed on the third Monday of March, it often creates a long weekend. Schools and institutions may highlight Juárez's legacy of law, equality, and national modernization.

Jueves Santo

21 Apr 2011

Jueves Santo is part of Semana Santa and is widely observed across Mexico through church services, processions, and family traditions. While not an official nationwide public holiday, many schools and some workplaces may reduce hours or close. In many towns, the week is marked by cultural events and religious ceremonies.

Viernes Santo

22 Apr 2011

Good Friday is one of the most significant days of Semana Santa, commemorating the crucifixion of Jesus. In Mexico, it is commonly observed with processions, reenactments, and church services, especially in cities known for Holy Week traditions. It is not a statutory public holiday nationwide, but closures are common in practice.

Día del Trabajo

2 May 2011

Labour Day recognizes workers' rights and the history of labor movements in Mexico and worldwide. Many cities host marches and public events, and it is a nationwide public holiday with official time off. It also marks the transition into spring and early summer routines for many families.

Día de la Independencia

16 Sep 2011

Mexico's Independence Day commemorates the start of the independence movement in 1810. Celebrations peak on the night of September 15 with El Grito, when crowds gather in plazas to reenact the famous call for independence, followed by fireworks, music, and traditional food. September 16 is the official nationwide holiday.

Día de los Muertos

2 Nov 2011

Día de los Muertos is one of Mexico's most iconic cultural traditions, dedicated to remembering and celebrating loved ones who have passed away. Families create ofrendas with photos, marigolds, candles, and favorite foods, and many communities hold parades or cemetery vigils. It is widely observed nationwide but is not an official public holiday, so time off depends on local practices, schools, and employers.

Día de la Revolución

21 Nov 2011

Revolution Day honors the Mexican Revolution that began in 1910 and reshaped the country's political and social landscape. Observed on the third Monday of November, it often becomes a long weekend. Schools and cultural institutions may highlight the era's history, leaders, and lasting reforms.

Día de la Virgen de Guadalupe

12 Dec 2011

The Day of the Virgin of Guadalupe honors Mexico's patron saint and is one of the country's most important religious observances. Pilgrims travel to the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe in Mexico City, and many communities hold masses and processions. It is widely observed and a bank holiday, but not a mandatory nationwide day off for the private sector.

Navidad

25 Dec 2011

Christmas Day in Mexico is a family focused celebration following the festive season of posadas and Christmas Eve gatherings. Many families share a traditional meal, attend church, and spend the day together at home. December 25 is an official nationwide public holiday, so most businesses and schools close.
