(CNN in Spanish) — 2024 in Colombia There will be fewer holidays than in 2023.
The reason is that there are days that are considered holidays by law but they fall on a Sunday, so they are not counted as a day off from work.
But despite this, Colombia is still one of the countries in the region that has the largest number of holidays throughout the year. Thus, 2023 will have 20 holidays, and 2024 will have 17 holidays, plus weekends.
This year there are three months without public holidays: February, April and September. The largest number of holidays is in March, when Holy Week is celebrated. June, July, August and November will also have several days off.

Payments on Colombian holidays
By law in Colombia, public and private sector workers have a paid day of rest on public holidays.
Law No. 51 of 1983 provides for the transfer of 10 holidays to the Monday following the date on which they fall on the calendar.
The law is commonly known as Emiliani after Raimondo Emiliani Roman, a politician who served as a congressman, minister and ambassador and who proposed reforming the labor code to create a holiday system that has been in place since the 1980s.
