During the celebration of Holy Week 2026, classes in public and private schools in Peru will not be held on Thursday, April 2, and Friday, April 3. This suspension aligns with the national holidays established by the Ministry of Education (Minedu), which spans from March 29 to April 5. The non-working days correspond to Holy Thursday and Good Friday, key moments in the commemoration of the Christian tradition. Although Saturday, April 4, and Sunday, April 5, are not holidays, they are typically added to the regular weekend, creating an extended period of rest.
Security Plan for Holy Week
The Municipality of Lima, in coordination with the Executive and the National Police of Peru, has implemented a security plan called “Holy Week 2026.” This operation includes surveillance in the Historic Center through cameras and patrolling, as well as vehicle restrictions in the Damero de Pizarro from April 2 to April 5. Additionally, fairs and cultural events are planned for residents and tourists, ensuring safety and the maintenance of public spaces.
