2027 at a glance
- Labour Day falls on Saturday 1 May and is not moved; National Day falls on Sunday 1 August and is not moved; Christmas Day falls on Saturday 25 December and is not moved, because Switzerland has no statutory substitute days.
- In 2027, public holidays fall on 6 weekdays in Jura, two fewer than in 2026.
Switzerland has no statutory substitute days: a public holiday that falls on a Saturday or Sunday is not moved to a weekday. Only 1 August is a federal holiday; each canton's law makes some other days equal to a Sunday, and these counts include exactly those. Further cantonal rest days, days kept only in some areas and days that many employers give off by custom are listed but not counted.

About public holidays in Jura
Jura is the newest Swiss canton, created in 1979, and its holiday law is correspondingly recent. The Law on official holidays and Sunday rest (Loi sur les jours fériés officiels et le repos dominical, RSJU 555.1) was passed on 31 August 2022 and sets out the list that this page follows.
The law works in two layers. Article 3 lists the official holidays: New Year's Day, 2 January, Good Friday, Easter, Easter Monday, 1 May, Ascension, Pentecost, Whit Monday, Corpus Christi, 23 June, 1 August, the Assumption (15 August), All Saints' Day (1 November) and Christmas. Article 4 then picks out the ones assimilated to Sunday for the purposes of the federal Labour Act: New Year's Day, Good Friday, Easter Monday, 1 May, Ascension, Whit Monday, Corpus Christi, 1 August and Christmas. Those nine are the holidays totalled on this page.
The other days on the official list, namely 2 January, 23 June, the Assumption and All Saints' Day, are holidays in the cantonal sense only. They are shown in the table so that nobody is surprised by them, but they are listed without being counted, since article 4 does not put them on a par with Sunday. In 2026 the Assumption falls on a Saturday and All Saints' Day on a Sunday.
The 23 June date is the one that sets Jura apart from every neighbour. It is the canton's independence day, commemorating the plebiscite of 1974, and a fixed calendar date, so its weekday changes from year to year; in 2026 it is a Tuesday.
With eight of the nine counted days landing on weekdays in 2026, the canton has 253 working days that year, and 255 in 2027. Compared with Neuchâtel next door, Jura counts more: Neuchâtel adds 1 March for the founding of its republic, whereas Jura adds Easter Monday, Whit Monday and Corpus Christi. Compared with Schaffhausen, which keeps 1 May and the Easter and Whit Mondays but no Catholic feast days, Jura combines both traditions.
Boxing Day is not on the list in article 3, so 26 December is an ordinary working day in the canton even though many firms close. Half days and municipal holidays are not counted here.
Switzerland has no substitute days. A holiday on a Saturday or Sunday simply disappears from the working calendar, and the figures on this page count only holidays that fall on a weekday.
