Oh, I found out that March has some interesting state holidays in certain parts of Brazil. Pernambuco, Acre, and Ceará each have their own holiday in the month. What are the holidays in March for each state? Well, in Pernambuco, it's on Friday, March 19th, celebrating the Pernambuco Revolution of 1817, which was very important to the state's history. Then, Acre observes International Women's Day on Sunday, March 8th, which has had a state law since 2001 guaranteeing this. And Ceará? That’s on Wednesday, March 25th, remembering when slavery was abolished there in 1884, well before the national Lei Áurea.

There's more: Amapá and Ceará also designated a ponto facultativo on Thursday, March 19th, the day of São José. So basically, the holidays in March depend on where you are. If you're in one of these states, it's good to keep an eye on the dates. March has no national holiday, only these state holidays.
