Holidays on a weekend
Labor Day (May Day) (Saturday, May 1), Federal Election Day (Sunday, June 6) and Christmas Day (Saturday, December 25) fall on a weekend in 2027. A mandatory rest day that falls on a weekend is not moved; the Monday rule only applies to the three holidays tied to a Monday.
Good to know
Mexico’s mandatory rest days are listed in article 74 of the Federal Labor Law. Since 2006, three of them always fall on a Monday: Constitution Day (first Monday of February), Benito Juárez’s birthday (third Monday of March) and Revolution Day (third Monday of November). Holy Thursday, Good Friday, the Day of the Dead and December 12 are widely observed but are not mandatory days off.
