About public holidays in Region of Murcia

The Region of Murcia keeps a compact holiday calendar, with a spring day of its own and Saint Joseph's Day on 19 March in both years covered here. It is a uniprovincial community in the south-east, and the list that its government sends each autumn to the Ministry of Labour is printed in the Boletín Oficial del Estado (BOE). Everything below comes from the BOE resolutions of 17 October 2025 (for 2026) and 8 October 2026 (for 2027).

The regional holiday is the Día de la Región de Murcia on 9 June, the anniversary of the 1982 statute. It falls on Tuesday in 2026 and Wednesday in 2027. Murcia also keeps Saint Joseph's Day, a choice open to every community under the national rules, and it keeps Maundy Thursday. It does not keep Easter Monday, which sets it apart from Valencia and Castilla-La Mancha (the latter only in 2026).

In 2026 Murcia has twelve holidays: 1 January, 6 January, Saint Joseph's Day (Thursday 19 March), Maundy Thursday (2 April), Good Friday (3 April), 1 May, 9 June, 15 August, 12 October, Monday 7 December, 8 December and 25 December. The Monday in December appears because Constitution Day falls on a Sunday and Murcia moves it. All Saints' Day, also on a Sunday, is not moved. The 15 August holiday is a Saturday, so eleven of the twelve fall on a weekday.

In 2027 the list is 1 January, 6 January, Saint Joseph's Day (Friday 19 March), Maundy Thursday (25 March), Good Friday (26 March), 1 May, 9 June, 12 October, 1 November, 6 December, 8 December and 25 December. There is no autumn Monday to add: 1 November is a Monday, 6 December is a Monday, and 15 August is a Sunday that Murcia left alone. With 1 May and 25 December on Saturdays, ten holidays take a working day.

Next door, Valencia keeps Easter Monday and adds 9 October, whereas Murcia has neither, and Castilla-La Mancha has no Saint Joseph's Day in either year.

The calendar leaves out the two local holidays that each Murcian municipality can set. Cities such as Cartagena and Lorca choose their own, for example fiestas linked to patron saints or fairs, and they are published in the regional bulletin. Because they differ by town, they are not counted, and a full year in any particular town has up to two fewer working days than the totals on this page.
