Ticino Public Holidays 2028

Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 25, 2026

Ticino observes 15 public holidays in 2028: 13 fall on a weekday and 2 land on a weekend, leaving 247 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 Ticino differs from the national Swiss holidays

Ticino is a historically Catholic, Italian-speaking canton with the longest cantonal calendar of this group. Beyond the national Swiss set it adds eight days: Epifania (6 January), San Giuseppe (19 March), Primo Maggio (1 May), Corpus Domini (Corpus Christi, the Thursday 60 days after Easter), Santi Pietro e Paolo (29 June), Assunzione (15 August), Ognissanti (1 November) and Immacolata Concezione (8 December). It also drops one national day: along with Valais, Ticino is one of only two cantons that do not observe Good Friday. Easter Monday and Whit Monday are kept. The net effect is a working-day count well below the national one in most years.
