Public Holidays in Venezuela — 2027

Venezuela is holiday-rich in 2027, with 34 public holidays spread across the year.

9 of them land on the Saturday + Sunday weekend, which leaves 25 genuine days off work.

The dates are spread fairly evenly — 20 before July and 14 after it — with May the busiest month.

The longest dry spell runs 36 days, from Tuesday, August 3, 2027 to Wednesday, September 8, 2027; that is the stretch worth spending annual leave on.

13 holiday(s) sit next to the weekend, and 5 single bridge day(s) could turn into a four-day break.

Venezuela sits in South America, is run from Caracas, pays in Bolavar, and has about 28.4M people planning around these same dates.
