What makes the Argentina calendar unique
Every country celebrates some New Year; the Argentina signature lives in the other dates: Día Nacional de la Memoria por la Verdad y la Justicia (Day of Remembrance for Truth and Justice, March 24), found in no other country in the dataset; Día del Veterano y de los Caídos en la Guerra de Malvinas (Day of the Veterans and Fallen of the Malvinas War, April 2), found in no other country in the dataset; Día de la Revolución de Mayo (May Revolution, May 25), found in no other country in the dataset. The longest dry spell of the year runs from Paso a la Inmortalidad del General José de San Martín (August 17) to Día del Respeto a la Diversidad Cultural (October 12): 56 straight days without a single nationwide holiday. In 2027, there will be 16 nationwide holidays and Día Nacional de la Memoria por la Verdad y la Justicia will fall on a Wednesday (March 24).
