Mexico November 2026 long weekend for workers and students, Digi Mart USA News (Mexico): November 2026 will bring a second long weekend for students and workers in Mexico to commemorate the Mexican Revolution, giving some people three days off.
The long weekend runs from Saturday, November 14 to Monday, November 16. Monday is a mandatory rest day for workers under Article 74 of the Federal Labor Law (LFT), which moves the holiday to the third Monday of the month.
The Mexican Revolution anniversary is officially observed on November 20, but the law shifts the rest day to the third Monday of November. People who normally rest on weekends will therefore have three consecutive days off.
Basic education students will also have no classes on Monday, November 16, allowing them to share the same long weekend. The Secretariat of Public Education (SEP) school calendar for 2026-2027 lists other dates without classes for basic education students.
November 2 was the first, for Day of the Dead.
The remaining dates are Friday, November 13, for grade registration; Monday, November 16, for the Revolution anniversary; and Friday, November 27, for an ordinary School Technical Council (CTE) session. The Friday dates of November 13 and 27 often create long weekends for students because school activities are suspended.
Both Friday dates are part of the education calendar and do not apply to workers, and teachers also work on those days.
Under Article 74 of the Federal Labor Law, the third Monday of November is a mandatory rest day commemorating November 20. Formal-sector workers are entitled to rest with pay.
If a worker must work that day, they should receive their regular day’s wage plus double that amount, meaning they must be paid triple by law.
