Good to know: Bolivia's government often adds or moves holidays by decree with short notice, so check 2027 dates again once the yearly decree comes out.
"Day off" means a day off by law for private-sector workers. "Optional" means widely observed, but the law does not require private employers to close. The US column shows whether US federal offices are off that day too.
