Bridge day check
Falls on a Tuesday. Book the Monday off and you get a four-day weekend — expect a lot of colleagues to do exactly that.
Book off 16 Feb 2026 for 4 days off.
What the day is for
Two days off before Lent, at their most elaborate in Gualeguaychú's stadium parades and the murga drumming of Buenos Aires neighbourhoods.
Do shops and banks close?
Banks and offices closed; bars, food stalls and coastal retail thrive.
Getting around
Heavy outbound travel to the coast and Entre Ríos; long-distance buses sell out.
