What makes the Chile calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the Chile signature lives in the other dates: Día de las Glorias Navales (Navy Day, 21. Mai), found in no other country in the dataset; Día Nacional de los Pueblos Indígenas (National Day of Indigenous Peoples, 21. Juni), found in no other country in the dataset; Virgen del Carmen (Our Lady of Mount Carmel, 16. Juli), found in no other country in the dataset. The longest dry spell of the year runs from Año Nuevo (1. Januar) to Viernes Santo (3. April): 92 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 16 nationwide holidays and Día de las Glorias Navales will fall on a Freitag (21. Mai).
