The Cape Verde holiday calendar at a glance

Cape Verde observes 9 nationwide public holidays each year. Every holiday applies nationwide, so there are no regional days to track. All of them keep the same calendar date every year, which makes planning ahead simple. In 2026, Dia do Trabalhador, Dia Mundial da Criança and Natal land on a Monday or Friday, giving a three-day weekend with no leave needed.

What these days actually mean

Observance, business closures and transport impact for the next few dates.

All Saints' Day

1 Nov 2026

Public
Observance
Families visit cemeteries with flowers and candles. Quiet and reflective rather than festive.
Business
Banks and most shops closed in Catholic-majority countries; florists do their busiest day of the year.
Transport
Extra services to cemeteries; heavy intercity travel over the weekend.

Christmas Day

25 Dec 2026

Public
Observance
The central Christian winter feast; in most countries the household gathering matters more than the church service.
Business
Near-total closure of retail, offices and banks. Expect the preceding afternoon to shut early too.
Transport
Skeleton or suspended services in many countries. Book intercity travel well ahead.
