Zug Public Holidays 2027
Last reviewed: May 19, 2026 · Holiday data: June 24, 2026
Zug observes 12 public holidays in 2027: 8 fall on a weekday and 4 land on a weekend, leaving 253 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 Zug differs from the national Swiss holidays
Zug is a historically Catholic canton and adds four days to the national Swiss set across the whole canton: Fronleichnam (Corpus Christi), Mariä Himmelfahrt on 15 August, Allerheiligen on 1 November and Mariä Empfängnis on 8 December. Two days often listed for Zug are left out: Berchtoldstag (2 January) is widely quiet but not a recognised cantonal holiday, and Josefstag (19 March) is kept only in some communes. Both are explained here rather than counted. The Easter and Whit Mondays and Stephanstag are kept, and the weekend is Saturday and Sunday.
