Cape Verde records 9 holidays in 2025. 9 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. Dia Mundial da Criança (1 Jun 2025), Dia da Independência Nacional (5 Jul 2025) and Dia de Todos os Santos (1 Nov 2025) fall on a weekend in 2025, so they hand back no extra day off. Dia do Trabalhador (1 May 2025) and Natal (25 Dec 2025) sit on a Tuesday or Thursday: book the Fridays and each becomes a four-day break. The busiest month is Jan, with 3 of them. The longest run without one is 101 days, between 20 Jan 2025 and 1 May 2025. The last was Natal on 25 Dec 2025.
