Municipal public administration suspends activities in honor of Our Lady of Carmel
The City Hall of Puerto Iguazú, Argentina, established a municipal holiday for July 16, 2026, through Resolution No. 297/2026, to commemorate the feast day of Our Lady of Carmel, the city's patron saint. The measure revives a 1984 municipal ordinance that already recognized the date as a spiritually, historically, and culturally significant celebration.
The decision was signed by Mayor Claudio Filippa and Government Secretary Marcela Antonia González. The holiday affects the Municipal Public Administration.
The resolution describes the celebration as a "festival of deep spiritual, historical, and cultural significance for the community" and invites provincial and national agencies, banking, educational, judicial, commercial, industrial institutions, and the general public to observe the measure.
Municipal Ordinance No. 82/84 had already declared a municipal holiday each July 16 due to the religious festival's importance to Puerto Iguazú residents.
