When Is Mexico’s Next Long Weekend in 2026?

Students will get Mexico’s next long weekend from Friday, September 25, through Monday, September 28, according to the 2026-2027 school calendar issued by the Secretariat of Public Education.

The break comes during a scheduled session of the School Technical Council and applies to preschool, primary and secondary students. September 16, Mexico’s Independence Day, is also a mandatory day of rest for both students and workers. Because it falls on a Wednesday, however, it does not create a long weekend.

Students will have another extended break at the end of October. A School Technical Council session is scheduled for Friday, October 30, followed by a suspension of activities on Monday, November 2. The Day of the Dead is not a mandatory holiday for workers, although some companies give employees the day off.

Basic education will suspend regular activities again on Friday, November 13, for administrative work and the recording of grades. A few days later, students and workers will receive another long weekend for the anniversary of the Mexican Revolution. Under the Federal Labor Law, the holiday falls on the third Monday of November.

The calendar gives families several dates to mark before the end of the year, whether they plan a short trip or time at home.
