It’s October, but it’s already time to pull out next year’s calendar. On September 30, 2026, the Governing Council of the Community of Madrid approved the decree establishing the 2027 work calendar: 14 holidays, 12 of which are regional and two are local. Each city council will set these last two in accordance with the Workers’ Statute.
The decree will be submitted to the national government with the 12 fixed dates, and each municipality will then add its own. Before making a decision, the Governing Council consults with the parliamentary groups of the Madrid Assembly and with the region’s most representative economic and social organizations and institutions.
