The next public holiday in Chile is All Saints Day

When the next public holiday in Chile falls

Chile recognises about seventeen feriados legales under Law 19.973 of 2004 and subsequent amendments, alongside dates fixed by separate statutes. The list includes New Year's Day, Good Friday, Holy Saturday, Labour Day on 1 May, Navy Day on 21 May commemorating the 1879 Battle of Iquique, Saint Peter and Saint Paul on 29 June, Our Lady of Mount Carmel on 16 July (patroness of the armed forces), Assumption on 15 August, Independence Day on 18 September and Glories of the Army on 19 September together forming the Fiestas Patrias, Day of the Encounter of Two Worlds on 12 October, Day of the Evangelical Churches, All Saints' Day, Immaculate Conception, Christmas Day and Plebiscite Day where applicable.

Knowing the exact date of the next holiday in Chile matters for more than time off. It tells payroll teams when a pay run shifts, tells anyone with a filing or payment deadline whether a due date rolls forward, and tells cross-border teams which day a counterpart will be unreachable. The countdown above is calculated from the nationally recognised public holiday list and updates live in your own time zone, so a date that is "tomorrow" for someone in Chile reads correctly for you wherever you are.

Working days and the holiday calendar in Chile

The Código del Trabajo article 22 sets the standard private-sector week at 44 hours over five or six days, reduced from 45 by Law 21.561 of 2023 phased in through 2028. The standard private-sector office and banking week is Monday to Friday with Sunday as the statutory weekly rest day under article 35. The Civil Procedure Code (Código de Procedimiento Civil) article 66 rolls procedural deadlines falling on a feriado to the next día hábil. Settlement of Chilean peso transactions runs on the Banco Central de Chile's LBTR RTGS system and the ComBanc clearing house, which observe the seventeen-day national holiday list.

Right now there are about 0 full working days between today and All Saints Day, counting Monday to Friday and skipping any other public holidays in between. If you are scheduling a deliverable, a delivery, or a meeting that depends on people being at their desks in Chile, that is the realistic window you have before the next closure.

For cross-border planning, overlay the Chile calendar with the calendars of the other countries your team works with. A week that looks completely open from your side can be a national holiday on theirs, and the clash only shows up when you compare the two side by side. The full holiday page links into a country-by-country comparison so you can spot the weeks where almost nobody is at their desk before you commit to a date.

Holiday dates are compiled from Nager.Date and the national sources listed above. Regional and substitute-day rules vary; for legal deadlines, confirm the observed date with the relevant official calendar for Chile.
