Overview: The "Bridge Public Holiday" (or "feriado puente" in Spanish) is a term used in Argentina to describe a day off that is designated to create a long weekend when a national holiday falls close to the weekend. The concept aims to promote domestic tourism and allow Argentinians to enjoy extended breaks.
History: Introduced by the Argentine government, the bridge holiday concept was formalized through legislative measures. It allows for flexible scheduling of certain non-fixed holidays or for the addition of an extra holiday day to connect with weekends.
Traditions: There are no specific traditions associated with Bridge Public Holidays as they are not tied to any particular cultural or historical events. Instead, these days are seen as opportunities for relaxation and leisure activities.
Activities: On Bridge Public Holidays, Argentinians often take short trips or engage in recreational activities. Many seize the chance to visit family or explore different parts of the country. It’s also common for people to simply enjoy the extended break by resting at home or gathering with friends.
These holidays contribute significantly to local economies due to increased travel and spending during these prolonged weekends.
