Navarre, Spain public holidays 2028

2028 at a glance

• New Year's Day falls on Saturday 1 January and no substitute weekday is counted.
• All 2028 dates are provisional – calculated from the rule, because official dates are published only through 2027.
• Spanish law allows a community at most 12 holidays a year, two of them local (Estatuto de los Trabajadores, art. 37.2), and the calculated 2028 list is longer, so Monday following Saint Francis Xavier's Day (Monday 4 December) is left out until the BOE resolution names the community's days; the choice of the day is the community's.
• In 2028, public holidays fall on 11 weekdays in Navarre, one more than in 2027.

Each Spanish region sets part of its calendar every year, and some regions move a holiday that falls on a Sunday to the Monday; these counts follow the official calendar published in the Boletín Oficial del Estado. Every town also has two local holidays, which these counts do not include: a full year in any town has two working days fewer.

About public holidays in Navarre

Navarre, officially the Comunidad Foral de Navarra, has no regional holiday on the national register: every day on its list is shared with at least one other region. Its government sends the list to the Ministry of Labour, and the Boletín Oficial del Estado (BOE) prints it every October. The calendar here follows the BOE resolutions of 17 October 2025 for 2026 and 8 October 2026 for 2027.

What Navarre does instead is keep a long spring. It keeps both Maundy Thursday and Easter Monday, so Easter lasts from Thursday to Monday, and it keeps Saint Joseph's Day on 19 March in each year. In 2026 the twelve days are 1 January, 6 January, Saint Joseph's Day (Thursday 19 March), Maundy Thursday (2 April), Good Friday (3 April), Easter Monday (6 April), 1 May, 15 August, 12 October, Monday 2 November, 8 December and 25 December. The Monday in November is Navarre's choice to give the day after All Saints' Day, which fell on a Sunday. Constitution Day, also a Sunday that year, was not moved.

The 2027 list has the same size: 1 January, 6 January, Saint Joseph's Day (Friday 19 March), Maundy Thursday (25 March), Good Friday (26 March), Easter Monday (29 March), 1 May, 12 October, 1 November, 6 December, 8 December and 25 December. As 1 May and 25 December are Saturdays and 15 August is a Sunday that was not moved, ten of the twelve take a working day. Easter 2027 therefore gives Navarre a five-day break, matching La Rioja and the Basque Country.

One date deserves a note. 3 December is the feast of Saint Francis Xavier, born in Navarre, and is celebrated as the Day of Navarre. It does not appear in the BOE list for 2026 or 2027, so it is not counted as a public holiday here, and an employer that gives the day off does so as a matter of local arrangement. The same reasoning applies to the Sanfermines in Pamplona in July, which are celebrated by the city but are not a regional holiday.

Navarre's closest neighbour to the south-west is La Rioja, which keeps Easter Monday and Maundy Thursday as well but does not keep Saint Joseph's Day or move All Saints' Day.

Each Navarrese municipality may add two local holidays, published by the regional government in its official bulletin. They are chosen by the town and therefore are not part of these counts, so someone working in Pamplona or Tudela may have two fewer working days than the figures here. Easter Saturday, Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve are not statutory holidays and count as normal working days.
