  • Observe the distribution of holidays throughout the year.

Holiday patterns in 2026

Guatemala's holiday calendar in 2026 shows a significant concentration in April, with four holidays occurring within a single week, largely due to the Easter period. Following this, the calendar becomes more dispersed, with single holidays marking significant national and cultural events throughout May, June, September, October, and November.

The year concludes with a cluster of holidays in late December, including Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and New Year's Eve, providing a festive end to the year. The early part of the year is relatively quiet after New Year's Day, with no holidays in February or March.
