As the carnival celebrations come to a close, many Brazilians are turning their attention to the calendar to find out when the next holiday will occur. The anticipation is for the upcoming national holiday associated with Holy Week, which begins with Good Friday on April 3rd. This holiday allows workers to potentially have an extended break when combined with the following Saturday and Sunday.

In addition to the holiday on April 3rd, Brazil will see another national holiday on April 21st, marking Tiradentes Day, which falls on a Tuesday. This creates yet another opportunity for an extended weekend for many workers, although the implementation of these holidays can vary by industry. While the holidays are recognized under the Consolidation of Labor Laws (CLT), some essential sectors may continue operations, reflecting the sector-specific nature of holiday observance in Brazil.

For those planning their schedules, April promises a welcome respite from work with these national holidays. The chance to enjoy consecutive days off can be a significant relief, especially following the busy carnival period. Such holidays play a vital role in the Brazilian culture, providing time for rest and celebration as well as opportunities for travel and leisure.
