What are the holidays in 2023
This year is considered the year of holidays. There are 9 national holidays, four of them extended, falling on Mondays or Fridays. And for those who have the opportunity to amend the holiday that falls on Thursday, the total of long holidays goes to seven. If you can include national optional points, that number rises to nine extended holidays. WOW!!
National holidays are provided for by federal law and are valid for the entire Brazilian territory, while optional points are valid only for public servants, including public schools, so students also benefit from these holidays. They love!
