Jura Public Holidays 2027
Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026
Jura observes 13 public holidays in 2027: 8 fall on a weekday and 5 land on a weekend, leaving 253 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 Jura differs from the national Swiss holidays
Jura, Switzerland's youngest canton, keeps the national Swiss public holidays and adds six of its own: the Lendemain du Nouvel An on 2 January, the Fête du Travail (Labour Day) on 1 May, Fête-Dieu (Corpus Christi), the Fête de l'Indépendance on 23 June (which marks the canton's independence won in 1974), Assomption (15 August) and Toussaint (1 November). It drops Saint-Étienne (26 December), which is not among the cantonal holidays, and unlike the central Catholic cantons it does not observe the Immaculée Conception (8 December). The 23 June day is unique to Jura. The Easter and Whit Mondays are kept, and the weekend is Saturday and Sunday.
