Is 24 June 2027 a public holiday in Catalonia?

Yes

Yes. Thursday 24 June 2027, Sant Joan (St John's Day), is a public holiday across Catalonia (Order EMT/52/2026).

It is not a holiday elsewhere in Spain: in the BOE's list of 2027 holidays, only Catalonia has it.

Taking Friday 25 June off gives 4 days in a row, Thursday 24 to Sunday 27 June; that and every other 2027 long weekend are in long weekends 2027 in Catalonia.

Where is 24 June 2027 a local holiday?

None of the 46 councils that have approved their 2027 days has put a local holiday on it: it is already a holiday across Catalonia.

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 24 June 2027?

Shops on the general timetable must close: Catalonia's retail law sets a few compulsory closing days, 1 and 6 January, Easter Sunday and Monday, 1 May, 24 June, 11 September and 25 and 26 December (Llei 18/2017, article 36.2.d).

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 24 June 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).
