Panama Public Holidays 2026

Complete list of public holidays — nationwide & regional

2025 2026 2027
In 2026, Panama marks 13 public holidays that apply across the whole country. This year 2 of them land on a Saturday or Sunday, so only 11 reduce the working week. There are 5 clear "bridge day" opportunities this year — where a public holiday falls on a Tuesday or Thursday, so taking the single adjoining day off turns it into a four-day weekend. The calendar opens with New Year's Day on Thursday 1 January and closes with Christmas Day on Friday 25 December.
