Extremadura celebrates its day on 8 September, the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, the region's patron saint. In 2027 it has 12 public holidays: the 9 shared by all of Spain and 3 of its own, Maundy Thursday (Thursday 25 March), Extremadura Day (Wednesday 8 September) and Replaces 15 August (Assumption) (Monday 11 October). Local holidays for the towns of Badajoz and Cáceres are published in the Official Journal of Extremadura. Badajoz celebrates Saint John in June and often picks a Carnival day; Cáceres, Saint George in April; Mérida, the capital, Saint Eulalia in December. In 2027 15 August falls on a Sunday and Extremadura does not move it to Monday 16 as other regions do: it swaps it for Monday 11 October, which with Tuesday 12 makes a four-day weekend without taking leave.

Many southern towns pick a Carnival day, and Badajoz has one of the busiest carnivals in Spain, while others choose their May or August festivities. Mérida, the capital, honours Saint Eulalia in December, right next to the Constitution long weekend.
