Public holidays 2027 in the 26 cantons

Updated on 02.11.2026

In Switzerland only 1 August is a public holiday nationwide under federal law. Each canton may treat up to eight further days a year like Sundays (Labour Act, art. 20a): those are the days that count for work, pay and deadlines. Easter falls on 28 March 2027; here, canton by canton, are the 2027 statutory holidays and their dates.

  • In 2027, 1 August, Christmas and 26 December fall on a weekend: federal law provides no replacement day.
  • Glarus: the Näfelser Fahrt is held on the first Thursday of April, i.e. 1 April 2027; the canton has yet to confirm the date, as that Thursday falls in Easter week.
  • Purely communal holidays (patron saint's day, fair day) are not listed.

Method

Each canton's list comes from its own law or ordinance on public holidays, cross-checked with SECO's overview (as of 12.12.2024). The 2027 movable dates are computed from Easter (28 March 2027). The “partial” column groups days that apply only in some districts or communes, and days the canton declares holidays without treating them like Sundays.
