Brazil has ten national holidays in 2027: New Year's Day on Friday 1 January 2027; Good Friday on 26 March 2027; Tiradentes Day on a Wednesday; Labour Day on a Saturday; Independence Day, Our Lady of Aparecida and All Souls' Day on Tuesdays, 7 September, 12 October and 2 November; Proclamation of the Republic on Monday 15 November; Black Consciousness Day and Christmas on Saturdays. 7 of them fall Monday to Friday and 3 at the weekend. The year has 3 national long weekends, on a Friday or a Monday, and 3 holidays on a Tuesday or Thursday that call for a bridge day. Carnival, on 9 February 2027, and Corpus Christi, on 27 May 2027, are not national holidays: they are federal optional days off and become holidays only where a local law says so. Each state adds its data magna, sometimes more, and each state capital its own municipal holidays. In São Paulo, for instance, 2027 has 11 national and state holidays and 253 working days.

A year of Tuesdays
Three national holidays in a row fall on a Tuesday in 2027: Independence Day, Our Lady of Aparecida and All Souls' Day. Each one leaves a stray Monday between the weekend and the holiday. If you can take those three Mondays off, you get three four-day weekends in the second half of the year for just three days of leave. Proclamation of the Republic Day, on a Monday, closes the run with a free long weekend. The long-weekend planner works out the best use of your days off over the whole year.

The start of the year is different. Easter is early, on 28 March 2027, and so is Carnival: Carnival Tuesday is 9 February 2027. Tiradentes Day, on a Wednesday, sits midweek. Labour Day on a Saturday gives nothing to anyone working Monday to Friday.
