March arrives with the first national holiday of the year, and enjoy January 1 and 6, and it does so with a date that is always questionable as to whether or not it is non-working. On March 19, Saint Joseph’s Day and, therefore, Father’s Day falls for this 2022 on a Saturday, which increases doubts at the regional and work level.
Of Catholic tradition, like the vast majority of holidays in Spain, Father’s Day has been losing strength in recent years as a day of great celebration as a result of more ideologically demanding dates. More popular in schools, where it is still common to see children prepare gifts for their parents, for this 2022 March 19 loses even more strength.
And it does so due to the fact that it falls on a Saturday, which added to the fact that it is a substitutable national holiday, many regions have chosen not to use this day as one of their 14 non-working dates. Thus it was approved in the (BOE), leaving only one autonomous community.
The Valencian Community, the only CC.AA. with a holiday for Father’s Day
The Valencian Community, the only territory in Spain that set Father’s Day as a non-working day in its calendar, is therefore the only one that next Saturday, March 19, will give this date a recognized holiday category.
In this way, for labor purposes, Saint Joseph’s Day becomes a holiday in Valencia, Alicante and Castellón, although since it falls on a Saturday, most Spaniards will not work either and therefore will enjoy this day in a similar way in tribute to all parents. .
The next festive dates will arrive in April with Easter
After March 19, the Valencian Community will have its next holidays already in Easter (April 14, 15 and 18), thus maintaining the order established in the BOE for a 2022 where Father’s Day ceases to be non-working in almost all of Spain.
