Luzern Public Holidays 2027

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

The 2027 table for Luzern lists 10 dates: 6 fall on a weekday and 4 on a weekend. That leaves 255 working days in 2027. Like the Switzerland calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list.

How Luzern differs from the Switzerland calculator

Luzern's law on rest days (SRL 855, § 1a) makes ten days public rest days across the whole canton: Neujahr, Karfreitag, Auffahrt, Fronleichnam, the Bundesfeiertag, Mariä Himmelfahrt (15 August), Allerheiligen (1 November), Mariä Empfängnis (8 December), Weihnachten and Stefanstag. Easter Monday and Whit Monday are not on that list, so this page counts them as working days. Against this site's eight-day Swiss baseline that adds Fronleichnam, Mariä Himmelfahrt, Allerheiligen and Mariä Empfängnis and drops Ostermontag and Pfingstmontag. The Josefstag (19 March) and the parish patron's day are rest days only in the communes that declare them, so they are not counted.
