Glarus Public Holidays 2026
Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026
Glarus observes 10 public holidays in 2026: 7 fall on a weekday and 3 land on a weekend, leaving 254 working days across the year. The working week is Monday to Friday with a Saturday and Sunday weekend, the same as the rest of Switzerland; what changes is the cantonal holiday calendar.
How Glarus differs from the national Swiss holidays
Glarus adds two canton-wide days that no other canton shares in the same form: the Näfelser Fahrt, a procession held on the first Thursday in April to commemorate the 1388 battle, and Allerheiligen on 1 November. The Näfelser Fahrt falls on 2 April in 2026 and 1 April in 2027, both Thursdays, so it shifts a due date in each year. Berchtoldstag (2 January) is generally quiet but is not a recognised cantonal holiday, so it is not counted. The Easter and Whit Mondays and Stephanstag are kept, and the weekend is Saturday and Sunday.
