2026 Public Holidays & Working Days in Colombia
Complete 2026 public holidays, weekend rules, working day count, and monthly calendar for Colombia.
Colombia has 242 working days and 19 public holidays in 2026, with a Saturday – Sunday weekend. Banks and logistics typically suspend during public holidays.
Colombia operates on UTC-5 with standard business hours 08:00–17:00 and a saturday – sunday weekend. In 2026, there are 242 standard working days and 19 public holidays, with no makeup workdays scheduled. For cross-border trade and logistics professionals, note that banks suspend clearing, customs clearance pauses, and port operations halt during public holidays — potentially delaying payment settlement by 1–3 business days and increasing container detention fees. When scheduling shipments, letter-of-credit presentations, or international meetings, avoid Colombia's non-working days and confirm operating windows around 2026 holidays with local agents in advance.
⚠️ Cross-Border Logistics & Meetings Note
Banks and logistics typically suspend during public holidays; arrange cross-border business 1–2 weeks in advance. Islamic calendar holidays (e.g., Eid al-Fitr, Eid al-Adha) are subject to official government announcements.
