The Rütli Meadow, overlooking Lake Lucerne, is seen as the symbolic birthplace of Switzerland. 🇨🇭🏞️

In 1291, delegates from Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden are said to have sworn an oath of alliance here, a founding myth that shaped Swiss identity around unity and independence.

Each year on August 1st, citizens and officials return to this historic site to mark Swiss National Day and honour the spirit of the Confederation’s origins.

It was only in 1993, following a nationwide popular vote, that August 1st was approved as a federal public holiday throughout Switzerland.

The initiative received overwhelming support, with 83.8% of voters in favour. The law came into effect in 1994, reflecting the population’s strong attachment to this symbolic date commemorating the founding pact of 1291.

August 1st was not actually specified in 1291. The Federal Charter that marks the founding of the Swiss Confederation is dated only “at the beginning of August”.

It was not until the 19th century that August 1st was adopted as the symbolic date to commemorate the founding pact. An approximation that eventually became the official national holiday in 1994.

Swiss diplomatic missions and Swiss clubs around the world organise National Day events featuring concerts, speeches, traditional food and flag displays. 🌍🎉

But abroad, celebrations do not always take place on the actual day. To gather as many people as possible, Swiss representations often host their celebrations a few days, or even weeks, before or after August 1st.

These events offer a joyful way to reconnect with Swiss roots and share national pride with local and international guests. ❤️
