About local holidays
In Switzerland only August 1st (National Day, the 1291 Federal Charter) is a federal holiday. Everything else is cantonal: Geneva celebrates the Restoration on Dec 31, Zurich the Sechseläuten in April, Ticino observes Catholic feasts that Basel-City ignores. Most cantons recognise New Year, Good Friday, Easter Monday, Ascension, Whit Monday, Christmas and St Stephen's Day (Dec 26). The Federal Day of Thanksgiving (3rd Sunday of September) is observed everywhere except Geneva.
