Cuba: 9 public holidays in the year ahead

Cuba has at least 9 public holidays in the twelve months from 2026-09-09, against a Saturday and Sunday weekend, a figure two independent compilations agree on. The longest continuous shutdown in the next twelve months runs 4 days, 2027-07-24 to 2027-07-27.

Shipping, customs clearance and retail activation all stop on these days, and the long runs are where launches die.

88 of a possible 90Tier B, systematic first-party observation. Nothing at this tier is allowed past 90, however good it looks.

Free to quote, cite and act on. Not to resell or redistribute — the sources ask that of us, and each one’s terms are named. Machine-readable: entries.json carries this record under the id omr:cu:surface:retail-calendar, with the same evidence and falsifier.

Published free, as reference, without warranty. This is not legal, regulatory, customs, tax or investment advice, and it is not a substitute for reading the primary document, which every record here names, dates and links, precisely so that you can.

We derive from public sources and we do not independently audit them. Where a source says its own records are unverified, that carries through to us. What we do promise is that every figure is recomputed from stored rows, every claim publishes the observation that would overturn it, and every correction goes on the public log. If something here is wrong, tell us and it changes in the open.
