About public holidays in Appenzell Innerrhoden
Appenzell Innerrhoden is Switzerland's smallest canton by population and a predominantly Catholic one. For the working calendar, the SECO annex to the Labour Act is the reference: it lists New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Ascension Day, Whit Monday, Corpus Christi, Christmas Day and St Stephen's Day as the days the canton has equated with a Sunday. With the federal holiday on 1 August that makes nine days in a year in which 26 December is observed.
Corpus Christi is the day that separates Innerrhoden from Ausserrhoden, which has no such holiday. The more striking point is the middle group. The Assumption on 15 August, All Saints on 1 November and the Immaculate Conception on 8 December are named as cantonal holidays in the canton's rest-day law (Article 2, letter c), yet they are not among the days it has equated with a Sunday. Federal law lets a canton equate only a limited number of days besides 1 August, and these three fall outside that choice. This page therefore shows them in the list as cantonal holidays that are not equal to a Sunday and leaves them out of every total, even though many employers close on those dates.
St Stephen's Day comes with a restriction. In the wording of the annex, it is celebrated only if doing so does not leave three rest days in a row. The count of holidays can therefore change by one from year to year, depending on the weekday of Christmas. In 2026 Christmas Day is a Friday and 26 December a Saturday, so it would make three rest days in a row and is not counted; the year has eight counted dates and 254 working days. In 2027 the day falls on a Sunday and is counted, leaving 255 working days.
One more local detail stays outside the data: St Maurice's Day is a rest day in the inner district only, so it appears neither in the list nor in the totals. A reader planning a long weekend near the district of Appenzell itself should check it with the municipality.
On weekends the rule is the same as elsewhere in Switzerland: a holiday on a Saturday or Sunday stays there and no weekday is added. Church processions and village customs are not counted, and neither are the many half days some employers grant on the afternoon before a feast.
