Luzern Public Holidays 2027
Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026
Luzern observes 12 public holidays in 2027: 8 fall on a weekday and 4 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 Luzern differs from the national Swiss holidays
Luzern is a historically Catholic canton and observes four days beyond the national Swiss set across the whole canton: Fronleichnam (Corpus Christi), the Thursday 60 days after Easter; Mariä Himmelfahrt (Assumption) on 15 August; Allerheiligen (All Saints' Day) on 1 November; and Mariä Empfängnis (Immaculate Conception) on 8 December. Days that are only local are left out of the count: St. Josef (19 March) is kept only in the communes that declare it, and the parish patron-saint feasts are local. So a Luzern count can run several days below the national one, depending on how the four cantonal days fall.
