Holidays in Panama (Days We Don’t Have To Work)
Here is a lineup of the 2014 Holiday Calendar (Dias Feriados) in Panama:
Jan 1 (Wednesday): New Year’s Day
Jan 9 (Thursday): M¡rtires Day
Mar 4 (Tuesday): Carnival Day
Apr 18 (Friday): Good Friday
May 1 (Thursday): Labor Day
Nov 3 (Monday): Independence Day from Colombia
Nov 5 (Wednesday): Colon’s Day
Nov 10 (Monday): The Uprising of Los Santos
Nov 28 (Friday): Independence Day from Spain (To be observed, Monday, December 1, 2014)
Dec 8 (Monday): Mother’s Day Panama
Dec 25 (Thursday): Christmas Day
Something different that Panama does than most places is if the holiday falls on a Sunday they move it to Monday so that everyone can have a three day weekend. They have also moved holidays that were originally on a Thursday or Friday to Monday so that people can have a long weekend as well. From what I know they still have not decided if they are going to move some of the holidays around to allow longer weekends so I will update the list as soon as it is announced.

You should be fine visiting those days.
We were thinking about vacationing to Panama (primarily staying in PC with friends but also spending a night in El Valle and Contadora, and maybe Coronado) for 7-10 days at the end of December to early January. Do you think since school is out that would be a crazy, busy chaotic time to visit? Would the tourist sites like the canal and other places be crowded? Thanks!
Oh dear. It's separation day from Colombia lmao. Independence day is from Spain. We don't have 2 independence days.
