Understanding Brazil Holidays

Public Holidays

Bank Holidays

Bank holidays are days when financial institutions are closed. While similar to public holidays, not all workers may have the day off.

Observances

Observances are notable days that are not official public holidays. Businesses and schools typically remain open on these days.

Regional Holidays

Some holidays may only be observed in certain regions or states within Brazil. Check local regulations for specific regional holidays.

Planning Around Brazil Holidays in 2020

Consider booking accommodations and transportation in advance around major holidays, as these are popular times for domestic travel and celebrations.
