Costa Rica records 11 holidays in 2025. 11 are nationwide public holidays and 0 apply only in certain regions. Fiesta de Nuestra Señora de los Ángeles (2 Aug 2025) falls on a weekend in 2025, so it hands back no extra day off. Jueves Santo (17 Apr 2025), Día Internacional del Trabajo (1 May 2025) and Navidad (25 Dec 2025) sit on a Tuesday or Thursday: book the Fridays and each becomes a four-day break. The busiest month is Apr, with 3 of them. The longest run without one is 100 days, between 1 Jan 2025 and 11 Apr 2025. The last was Navidad on 25 Dec 2025.
