A yearly calendar of Brazil's national holidays, with the movable dates calculated from Easter.
Brazilian national holidays affect the civil calendar, banking activity, public offices, businesses and sometimes deadline counting. Pick a year and the tool builds the full yearly calendar, highlighting every national holiday and every national optional closure, with the date, the weekday and the difference between fixed and movable dates. The movable dates, such as Carnival, Good Friday and Corpus Christi, are calculated from Easter Sunday, so they shift each year. Black Consciousness Day became a national holiday only from 2024, so it appears in the list only from that year onward. This section explains the difference between a national holiday, a state holiday, a city holiday and an optional closure. Whenever legal, labor or operational impact matters, the final confirmation should come from the relevant official source, since local holidays are not part of this list.
When you pick a year, the tool lays out the twelve months in a grid and marks every holiday. Some of them are fixed, always falling on the same civil-calendar day, while others are movable, calculated from the date of Easter. Each date also appears in a list with its name, weekday and type (national holiday or optional closure).
The fixed dates include New Year's Day (January 1), Tiradentes (April 21), Labor Day (May 1), Independence Day (September 7), Our Lady of Aparecida (October 12), All Souls' Day (November 2), Proclamation of the Republic (November 15), Black Consciousness Day (November 20, national from 2024) and Christmas (December 25). Movable dates such as Good Friday, Carnival and Corpus Christi shift each year because they depend on the Easter calculation.
Easter is the anchor for every movable date. From Easter Sunday, Carnival (Tuesday) falls 47 days before, Good Friday falls 2 days before and Corpus Christi falls 60 days after. Because Easter changes date each year, these three dates move along with it.
The tool computes Easter with the Meeus/Butcher algorithm (Gregorian calendar) and derives the other dates from it. That makes planning a year ahead simple: you can immediately see which weekday each holiday falls on and spot possible long weekends (holidays near the weekend).
The list is national in scope: it gathers the national holidays and the nation-wide optional closures (Carnival and Corpus Christi). It does not include state holidays, city holidays or local optional closures, which vary by state and city law and must be checked separately.
An optional closure is not a national holiday: public bodies may suspend work while private companies operate normally. For legal, labor, banking or deadline-counting effects, the final reference is the official rule of the body, court, contract or institution involved.
