September Holiday Mystery Solved! Special Non-Working Day News from Peru and Mexico 🌎✨

Hello everyone! 😃 As September approaches, many of you are probably wondering if there will be any special holidays this month, right?

These news updates really caught my attention too. Especially the holiday news from South American countries is always intriguing.

For those curious about non-working days in specific cities in Peru, or how Mexico's Independence Day long weekend might unfold, I'm here to give you all the details today! ✨

September in Peru: A Special Holiday Only in One City? 🇵🇪

Recently, news titled 'El 8 y 9 de septiembre serán días no laborables por celebración cívica: Solo en una ciudad' surely caught many people's attention.

According to this article, September 8th and 9th will be non-working days only in a specific city.

This special occurrence is happening in the beautiful city of 'Arequipa' in Peru.

While Arequipa city grandly celebrates its founding anniversary on August 15th each year, related civic events often extend into early September.

Consequently, the Arequipa city government has declared Monday, September 8th, and Tuesday, September 9th, as non-working days to boost the local economy and encourage citizens' participation in the festivities. 🎉

It's important to note that this is a special announcement specifically for the residents of Arequipa. For those in other regions, it's definitely news to be a little envious of, right? 😉

Monday, September 8th: Is it a Non-Working Day Across All of Peru? Myth vs. Reality! 🤔

Along with the Arequipa news, the article title '¿Este lunes 8 de septiembre será día NO laborable en el Perú? esto se sabe' likely added to many people's confusion.

This is because rumors circulated that Monday, September 8th, would be a non-working day across all of Peru.

However, according to the official announcement from the Peruvian Ministry of Labor (Ministerio de Trabajo y Promoción del Empleo), September 8th has not been designated as a public holiday at the national level.

This means that, with the exception of the special case in Arequipa city, it is a normal working day in other regions of Peru. 🙅‍♀️

This information is especially crucial for those planning trips or scheduling business appointments.

You must always verify that national public holidays and specific regional holidays are distinct.

September 2025: When is Mexico's Independence Day? 🇲🇽

Now, let's turn our attention to Mexico! The question '¿Cuál es el Día Festivo el 15 o 16 de Septiembre 2025?' relates to one of Mexico's most important national holidays, Independence Day.

Mexico's Independence Day is officially on September 16th. This day is a very significant one, commemorating independence from Spain. 🎆

However, in Mexico, on the eve of Independence Day, the night of September 15th, a grand national event called 'El Grito de Dolores' (The Cry of Dolores) is held.

Many citizens begin to enjoy the festive atmosphere from the night of the 15th, making it feel like a holiday itself.

Especially for 2025, since September 16th falls on a Tuesday, there were active discussions in the Mexican government about the possibility of designating Monday, September 15th, as a 'Puente' (bridge holiday) to create a four-day long weekend. 🥳

Ultimately, September 16th is the official public holiday, but many businesses and schools often choose to close voluntarily on the 15th, allowing people to enjoy the extended holiday spirit.

If you're planning a trip to Mexico, this might be a great time to visit!
