Fribourg Public Holidays 2028

Last reviewed: October 14, 2026 · Holiday data: October 8, 2026

The 2028 table for Fribourg lists 5 dates: 4 fall on a weekday and 1 on a weekend. That leaves 256 working days in 2028. Like the Switzerland calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list.

How Fribourg differs from the Switzerland calculator

Fribourg's law on employment and the labour market (LEMT, RSF 866.1.1, art. 49) makes four days holidays across the whole canton: Nouvel-An, Vendredi-Saint, Ascension and Noël. Every other holiday depends on the commune. Communes with a Roman Catholic majority add Fête-Dieu, Assomption, Toussaint and Immaculée-Conception; communes with a Reformed majority add the lendemain du Nouvel-An (2 January), lundi de Pâques, lundi de Pentecôte and lendemain de Noël (26 December), and the canton's jours fériés page names those communes. This page counts the canton-wide days and 1 August, so against this site's eight-day Swiss baseline it drops Easter Monday, Whit Monday and 26 December and adds nothing. For a business in a particular commune, add that commune's four days under Advanced options.
