What to know about Brazil's 2027 holidays
The working week here is Monday to Friday, with Saturday and Sunday off.
The 2027 federal ordinance is expected in late December 2026, so these dates follow the law and the 2026 pattern. Carnival, Corpus Christi and Public Servant’s Day are optional days off (ponto facultativo) for federal staff, not holidays; states and towns add their own.
