Feiertage Waadt

Feiertage Waadt lists the public holidays observed in the Swiss canton of Vaud, including Bundesfeier and the holidays that are most widely recognised across Switzerland and the French-speaking cantonal setting and its public-service calendar. The schedule sits within the Swiss cantonal framework, where some dates are fixed nationwide and others reflect regional practice in Romandie and the broader French-speaking part of the country. The sequence includes Neujahr, Berchtoldstag, the Easter period, Auffahrt, and other recurring observances that structure the civic year in Vaud. Entries in the calendar are straightforward all-day holidays rather than timed appointments. That means the pattern is shaped by fixed annual observances, movable religious dates tied to Easter, and culturally established days that recur in the same seasonal rhythm each year. Neujahr and Berchtoldstag open the year in January, while Gründonnerstag, Karfreitag, Ostersonntag, and Ostermontag mark the spring holiday cluster. Muttertag and Auffahrt follow later in the season. For institutions, schools, offices, retail operations, and family planners in Lausanne, Vevey, Nyon, and elsewhere in Vaud, these dates often matter as much as any meeting schedule because opening hours, staffing, travel plans, and public services may shift around them. For calendar management, the listing works as a Smart Calendar Feed, free to subscribe, and can be added to Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, or Outlook without manual entry for each recurring holiday. That matters for people tracking public closures in Vaud, cross-border workers moving between cantons, and households coordinating school breaks and religious observances. Because the feed mirrors the holiday pattern directly, it reduces the need to check separate lists of Swiss holidays and allows the dates to sit alongside meetings, travel, and family plans in the same calendar app. The holidays calendar updates regularly so substitutions, local observance changes, and date shifts tied to movable feast days appear automatically. In a canton such as Vaud, where holiday practice reflects both Swiss federal conventions and local recognition, that steady updating helps keep the calendar aligned with the current year’s official and widely observed schedule.
