Brazil June 29 Public Holiday In Alagoas State

Sources: Primeira Edição and Brazil public holidays. A decree gazetted in the Diário Oficial, and signed by Governor, Teotonio Vilela, establishes next Friday, June 29, 2007, as a public holiday in the state of Alagoas, on the occasion of Saints Peter and Paul Day.

Analysis: Although this public holiday is classified as ponto facultativo, and hence its effect is only compulsory on the civil service, as such, it is worth noting that Friday June 29, 2007, is also the Dia do Comerciário (day of shopkeepers) and that therefore, all shops will be closed on that day.
