Solothurn Public Holidays 2028

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

The 2028 table for Solothurn lists 5 dates: 4 fall on a weekday and 1 on a weekend. That leaves 256 working days in 2028. Like the Switzerland calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list.

How Solothurn differs from the Switzerland calculator

Solothurn's law on public rest days (BGS 512.41, § 2) lists Neujahr, Auffahrt, 1 May from 12.00 and, everywhere except the Bezirk Bucheggberg, Fronleichnam, Maria Himmelfahrt and Allerheiligen, with Karfreitag and Weihnachten among its high feast days; the economic and labour law (BGS 940.11, § 46) equates the same days with Sundays. Neither lists 2 January, Easter Monday, Whit Monday or 26 December. This page counts the days that apply in the whole canton for the whole day, so against this site's eight-day Swiss baseline it drops Easter Monday, Whit Monday and 26 December and adds nothing. Fronleichnam, 15 August and 1 November apply in every district except Bucheggberg, and 1 May is a holiday only from noon, so none of them is counted.
