Glarus Public Holidays 2026

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

The 2026 table for Glarus lists 10 dates: 7 fall on a weekday and 3 on a weekend. That leaves 254 working days in 2026. Like the Switzerland calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list.

How Glarus differs from the Switzerland calculator

Glarus's law on public rest days (GS IX B/21/1, Art. 2) lists Neujahr, the Fahrtsfest (Näfelser Fahrt), Ostermontag, Auffahrt, Pfingstmontag, 1 August, Allerheiligen and Stephanstag, with Karfreitag and Weihnachten as high feast days. Against this site's eight-day Swiss baseline that adds the Näfelser Fahrt and Allerheiligen and drops nothing. The law gives no date for the Fahrt: the canton's labour inspectorate list for 2026 puts it on Thursday 9 April 2026. The 2027 and 2028 rows carry the first Thursday of April (1 April 2027, 6 April 2028), marked unconfirmed until the canton publishes those years' lists; any April Thursday is a weekday, so the count does not depend on which one it is. Allerheiligen falls on a Sunday in 2026, so it closes a weekday only in 2027 (Monday) and 2028 (Wednesday).
