Nidwalden Public Holidays 2028

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

The 2028 table for Nidwalden lists 10 dates: 8 fall on a weekday and 2 on a weekend. That leaves 252 working days in 2028. Like the Switzerland calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list.

How Nidwalden differs from the Switzerland calculator

Nidwalden's law on public rest days (NG 921.1, Art. 2) lists as holidays Neujahr, the Josefstag (19 March), Auffahrt, Fronleichnam, the Bundesfeiertag, Maria Himmelfahrt (15 August), Allerheiligen (1 November) and Maria Empfängnis (8 December), and Karfreitag and the Weihnachtstag among its high feast days. Easter Monday, Whit Monday and 26 December are not in the law, so this page counts them as working days. Against this site's eight-day Swiss baseline that adds five days and drops three. Holidays a commune sets by its own regulation are not counted.
