Presidents' Day in Mexico? No, But There's Constitution Day

Mexico does not celebrate "Presidents' Day." That is a U.S. federal holiday (third Monday in February).

However, Mexico has a major patriotic holiday in early February:

  • Día de la Constitución (Constitution Day): Celebrated on the first Monday of February (officially commemorating the February 5, 1917 promulgation of the current Constitution).

This is a mandatory federal holiday (día festivo oficial) with closures of banks, government offices, and schools. It honors the progressive 1917 Constitution (land reform, labor rights, secular education).

Other February dates: Feb 24 – Flag Day (Día de la Bandera) (civic, not a day off). Feb 19 – Army Day (Día del Ejército) (military observance).

So if it's mid-February, it's not Presidents' Day in Mexico—it's likely a regular work week unless it's the Constitution Day long weekend.
