Zug Public Holidays 2026

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

The 2026 table for Zug lists 9 dates: 6 fall on a weekday and 3 on a weekend. That leaves 255 working days in 2026. Like the Switzerland calculator, this page counts Monday to Friday as working days; what changes is the holiday list.

How Zug differs from the Switzerland calculator

Zug's law on rest days and shop opening (BGS 942.31, § 1) lists Neujahr, Karfreitag, Auffahrt, Fronleichnam, the Bundesfeiertag, Maria Himmelfahrt, Allerheiligen, Maria Empfängnis and Weihnachten as public rest 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 four days and drops three. Maria Himmelfahrt falls on a Saturday in 2026 and a Sunday in 2027, and Allerheiligen on a Sunday in 2026, so those dates close no weekday.
