About these holidays in Mexico (2025)
Our Mexico public holidays guide explains the background of each holiday and how the dates are set.
New Year's Day
New Year's Day falls on 1 January and opens the Gregorian calendar year. Most countries mark it with a public holiday, and celebrations usually begin the night before with countdowns, fireworks and gatherings. The date was fixed in its current position by Julius Caesar's calendar reform, and later preserved by the Gregorian reform of 1582. traditions vary widely, from first-footing in Scotland to writing resolutions for the months ahead.
Constitution Day
Constitution Day commemorates the adoption or signing of a country's constitution. The date varies by nation: Norway marks 17 May, Denmark 5 June, Poland 3 May, Spain 6 December, India 26 January and Japan 3 May. It is usually a public holiday marked by official ceremonies, parades and educational events about citizenship. In several countries it is treated as a celebration of national identity as much as of the legal document itself.
Maundy Thursday
Maundy Thursday is the Thursday before Easter, commemorating the Last Supper of Jesus with his disciples. It is a public holiday in many countries with Catholic or Orthodox traditions, particularly in Latin America, Europe and parts of Asia and Africa. The name is commonly linked to the ceremonial washing of feet, and to the antiphon mandatum novum, a new commandment. Church services often include the rite of foot washing.
Good Friday
Good Friday is the Friday before Easter and commemorates the crucifixion of Jesus. It is a public holiday in most countries with Christian traditions, and businesses, banks and schools often close. Observance is typically solemn, with church services, processions and in some places Passion plays. The date moves each year because Easter is calculated from the first full moon following the March equinox.
Labour Day
Labour Day honours workers and the trade union movement. The spelling varies by country, but the observance is essentially the same as Labor Day. Most nations hold it on 1 May as International Workers' Day, commemorating the Haymarket affair of 1886 and the campaign for an eight hour day. New Zealand and several Australian states observe it in October, and the United States and Canada in September.
