                          About Public Holidays in El Salvador

                          El Salvador's Independence Day (September 15) is shared with several Central American neighbors that jointly declared independence from Spain in 1821. San Salvador's patron saint festival, the Fiestas Agostinas in early August, functions as a major de facto holiday period in the capital even beyond its officially gazetted days.
