Is September 15th a Holiday? Learn More About the Date

oglobo15 September 2026 at 04:00

September 15th is not a national holiday in Brazil. The date is commemorative only at the municipal level, celebrating patron saints or city anniversaries, which means only some cities in the country will have the day off on that day.

Our Lady of Sorrows is one of the most celebrated patron saints on this date, mainly in municipalities in Ceará, such as Juazeiro do Norte, and also in cities in Minas Gerais.

In Limeira, in the state of São Paulo, the celebration is twofold, covering both the saint and the city's anniversary. Ponta Grossa, in Paraná, also marks the date with the celebration of its founding.

In Rio de Janeiro, the city of Magé celebrates its patron saint, Our Lady of Piety, on this September 15th.

Why this matters

Brazilian readers can check if they have the day off on September 15th, since the date is not a national holiday and celebrations vary by municipality. Those living in cities that commemorate patron saints or local anniversaries will have a day off, while the rest work normally.

Don't "turn into", become Portuguese from Portugal.

This opinion article calls for the preservation of European Portuguese in the face of the growing influence of Brazilianisms in digital media and schools, considering the successive orthographic agreements as failed attempts at standardization that impoverish the European standard. The author argues that the linguistic diversity of the Lusophone world should be celebrated, but without the Portuguese variant being diluted in its own country, calling for a return to valuing traditional grammar, writing with silent consonants, and the musicality of Portuguese vocabulary.
