Public Holidays in Chile — 2028
There are 17 public holidays in Chile in 2028 — a middle-of-the-road calendar by international standards.
4 of them land on the Saturday + Sunday weekend, which leaves 13 genuine days off work.
The dates are spread fairly evenly — 8 before July and 9 after it — with June the busiest month.
The longest dry spell runs 104 days, from Saturday, January 1, 2028 to Friday, April 14, 2028; that is the stretch worth spending annual leave on.
8 holiday(s) sit next to the weekend, and 2 single bridge day(s) could turn into a four-day break.
Chile sits in South America, is run from Santiago, pays in Chilean Peso, and has about 19.1M people planning around these same dates.
