About public holidays in Colombia
This page lists the public holidays of Colombia for 2026 and 2027, with the date and weekday of each one. A holiday marked Nationwide applies everywhere in the country. One marked Some regions applies only to part of it, for example a state or province. Where the official name is different from the English one, the local name appears under it.
Moveable holidays, such as the ones counted from Easter, change their date from year to year, so it is worth checking the table each year before you plan. Our main time zone for Colombia is America/Bogota, which is what the live countdown and the "is today a holiday" pages use.
