Long weekends 2027 in Brazil

Brazil has 10 public holidays in 2027, taken from the official government list. 3 fall on a weekend.

Leave rules differ by employer and contract in Brazil, so the planner shows every budget from one to ten days. Among the 16 countries we cover outside our main markets, Brazil ranks number 12 for full days off this year.

2 more days appear on the official list without counting here: Domingo de Páscoa (March 28, not a day off for most workers) and Corpus Christi (May 27, not a day off for most workers). The planner leaves them out so every break works for everyone in Brazil.

Each break below starts and ends on a free day, contains at least one public holiday, and needs no more than 10 days of leave. They are ranked by how many days off each day of leave brings.

Around Natal and Confraternização Universal, 4 days of leave on Mon December 28, Tue December 29, Wed December 30 and Thu December 31 unlock 10 days away, 25 December 2026 to 3 January 2027.

20 to 28 March: 4 days of leave (22 to 25 March) around Sexta-feira Santa give 9 days off, 2.3 days for every day used.

17 to 21 April: 2 days of leave (April 19 and April 20) around Dia de Tiradentes give 5 days off, 2.5 days for every day used.

Around Dia da Independência, 1 day of leave on Mon September 6 unlocks 4 days away, 4 to 7 September.

Around Nossa Senhora Aparecida, 1 day of leave on Mon October 11 unlocks 4 days away, 9 to 12 October.

Around Dia de Finados, 1 day of leave on Mon November 1 unlocks 4 days away, 30 October to 2 November.

With 1 day of leave the longest run you can build is 4 days, 4 to 7 September. Three days stretch to 6 days off (7 to 12 September). Five days, a typical week, become 10 days off around Confraternização Universal, 1 to 10 January.

Ten days, the most this planner books in one go, give 17 days in a row, 30 October to 15 November. For nine days or more away you need 4 days of leave.

Summer: Confraternização Universal on January 1 and Natal on December 25. The pick of the season is 25 December 2026 to 3 January 2027 with 4 days of leave for 10 days off.

Autumn: Sexta-feira Santa on March 26, Dia de Tiradentes on April 21 and Dia do Trabalhador on May 1. The pick of the season is 17 to 21 April with 2 days of leave for 5 days off.

Spring: Dia da Independência on September 7, Nossa Senhora Aparecida on October 12, Dia de Finados on November 2, Proclamação da República on November 15 and Dia da Consciência Negra on November 20. The pick of the season is 4 to 7 September with 1 day of leave for 4 days off.

Winter has no public holiday in Brazil this year, which makes it the time to use a full week of leave for a longer trip.

Brazilians spend the feriadões on the beaches of Búzios, Paraty and Ilhabela in summer, which runs from December to February, in the mountain towns of Campos do Jordão and Gramado in winter, and at Bonito's clear rivers in the dry season.

Your strongest breaks this year fall in December, March and April, so pick the trip that suits that season, and book early: everyone else in Brazil has the same days off.

2026 and 2028 are planned as well, each with its own dates and breaks.

Holiday dates move every year: fixed-date days change their weekday, and Easter moves between late March and late April, which is why the best breaks are never the same twice.

Every date on this page comes from the official source for Brazil, read directly and compared day by day with an independent second source. A year appears once its official list is published, and we never fill a gap with another country's dates.

The planner treats weekends and full public holidays as free days and works out where your days of leave turn into the longest time off. Days kept in part of Brazil or as observances are shown but never counted. Last checked on October 1, 2026.
