Switzerland Public Holidays 2030 — Full List with Dates

Switzerland's 2030 public holiday calendar closely mirrors 2029 in its summer highlights: National Day (1 August) again falls on a Thursday, and the Assumption of Mary (15 August) also falls on a Thursday — giving Catholic cantons two excellent bridge day opportunities within 14 days of each other in August.

Easter Sunday is 21 April 2030, with Good Friday (19 April) and Easter Monday (22 April) observed in most cantons. Labour Day (1 May) — observed only in select cantons — falls on a Wednesday. Ascension Day (30 May, Thursday) and Whit Monday (9 June) complete the spring sequence.

For Catholic cantons, Corpus Christi (19 June, Thursday) extends the string of Thursday public holidays into mid-June. All Saints' Day (1 November) falls on a Friday — automatic long weekend. The Immaculate Conception (8 December) falls on a Monday — another automatic long weekend for observing cantons.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does Swiss National Day create a long weekend in 2030?

Yes — Swiss National Day (1 August) falls on a Thursday in 2030. Taking Friday 2 August as leave creates a four-day weekend. This mirrors the strong 2029 placement — two consecutive years with National Day on a Thursday.

When is Easter in Switzerland in 2030?

Easter Sunday is 21 April 2030. Good Friday (19 April) and Easter Monday (22 April) are observed in most cantons. Ascension Day (30 May, Thursday) and Whit Monday (9 June) complete a well-spaced spring sequence.

Does the Assumption of Mary create a long weekend in 2030?

Yes — Assumption of Mary (15 August) falls on a Thursday in 2030. Catholic cantons can take Friday 16 August as a bridge day for a four-day weekend. With National Day also on a Thursday on 1 August, August 2030 is exceptionally strong for Catholic canton workers.

Is the Immaculate Conception (8 December) favourable in 2030?

Yes — 8 December falls on a Monday in 2030, giving Catholic cantons an automatic three-day weekend. A strong December placement before the Christmas season.

Which August 2030 placement is better — 2029 or 2030?

Both years have National Day (1 August) and Assumption (15 August) as Thursdays, making them equally strong. In 2029 Assumption is a Friday (automatic long weekend); in 2030 it's a Thursday (bridge day needed). Slightly, 2029 edges ahead for pure convenience.
