Is 15 August 2027 a public holiday in Catalonia?
No
No. Sunday 15 August 2027, Assumption of Mary, is not a public holiday in Catalonia: it falls on a Sunday, and Order EMT/52/2026 leaves it out of the twelve 2027 holidays and does not add Monday 16 August either.
Monday 16 August is a local holiday in Banyoles, Capellades and Castellbell i el Vilar, as approved by their councils (pending the DOGC order).
Outside Catalonia, Andalusia, Aragon, Asturias, the Canary Islands, Castile and León and the Community of Madrid take Monday 16 August off instead, according to the BOE's list of 2027 holidays.
In the 2026 calendar, by contrast, 15 August 2026 is a holiday (Order EMT/66/2025).
All the 2027 holidays and long weekends are in long weekends 2027 in Catalonia.
Where is 15 August 2027 a local holiday?
None of the 46 councils that have approved their 2027 days has chosen it as a local holiday.
Local holidays for 2027 are not official yet: a DOGC order sets them at each council's request, and the 2026 one appeared on 17 December 2025. Until then this list covers only the 46 councils that have already approved and published their two 2027 days, each on its own website, e-office or minutes; once the order is out, it will cover every town.
Are shops open on 15 August 2027?
It is a Sunday, and 15 August is not one of the eight opening days of the general 2027 calendar (Order EMT/89/2026): shops on the general timetable may open only in towns that pick it as one of their own two days. Each town's own two days for 2027 have not been published yet; where a council chose none, they are 10 January and 5 December (Order EMT/89/2026, article 5).
Businesses the law leaves outside that timetable may open, such as bakeries, pastry shops, convenience stores, florists and pharmacies (Llei 18/2017, article 37).
Is there school on 15 August 2027?
There is no school: it is the summer break. The 2026-2027 school year ends on 21 June 2027 and 2027-2028 starts on 8 September 2027 (Order EDF/66/2026).
