📖 How Public Holidays Work in Colombia

Not every holiday repeats on the same date each year. Fixed-date holidays — a national or founding day, typically — recur exactly, while a country's movable holidays are governed by a separate calendar system and land on a different date every year. Colombia's calendar can include holidays governed by the Easter computus that many Christian-majority countries use, the Hijri lunar calendar behind Islamic observances such as Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, or a lunisolar cycle behind holidays like Lunar New Year. Colombia, like much of South America, likely carries at least one holiday from each category on its calendar — one reason the list above shows a specific date per year instead of a single recurring one.

Under Colombia's labor law, fixed-date national public holidays carry mandatory non-working status for public administration, financial institutions, and commercial enterprises — 1 such holiday is documented for Colombia in the table above, currently sourced from Colombia's official government portal, pending independent confirmation, including Día de la Independencia de Colombia on July 20. Official gazette announcements are published by government authorities to confirm these mandated closures.

It's also worth distinguishing a public holiday from an observance. A public holiday is a government-mandated day off — offices, banks and schools close. An observance marks something culturally or religiously significant without requiring anyone to close for it. This page tracks public holidays only, since those are the dates that actually change a day's schedule.

Colombia is also divided into states and provinces, and countries structured this way often layer a regional founding day, a local patron festival or a province-specific holiday on top of the national calendar — observed in one state but not nationwide. The calendar above covers Colombia's national holidays; see the Colombia states & provinces directory for population and government data on each one.
