Not a public holiday in every canton, but in Jura: Saint Berchtold's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Labor Day, Pentecost Monday, Corpus Christi, Independence Day, Assumption Day and All Saints' Day.
For comparison: in 2026 the number of public holidays ranges from 5 (Freiburg and Solothurn) to 15 (Ticino). Jura lies in between with 13.
Days marked "observed" are substitute days off when a holiday falls on a weekend. Holidays based on a lunar calendar can shift by a day once the official announcement is made.
Dates are generated from the open-source library python-holidays and automatically cross-checked against Nager.Date and the public Google Calendar holiday calendars; every holiday on a working day must be confirmed by a second source. Official announcements take precedence, especially for holidays that depend on the moon or are declared at short notice.
