The Puerto Rico holiday calendar at a glance

Puerto Rico observes 21 nationwide public holidays each year. Every holiday applies nationwide, so there are no regional days to track. 19 keep the same date every year, such as Día de Año Nuevo, Día de Reyes and 17 others. The other 2 move from year to year — Viernes Santo and Recordación de los Muertos de la Guerra — so check the date before you plan. In 2026, Natalicio de Eugenio María de Hostos, Natalicio de Martin Luther King, Jr., Día de los Presidentes and 9 others land on a Monday or Friday, giving a three-day weekend with no leave needed.
