Switzerland National Day commemorates the founding of the Swiss Confederation in 1291, when the three cantons of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden formed an alliance upon which modern Switzerland was formed.
Across Switzerland, communities and cities celebrate the First of August with bonfires, fireworks, and plenty of Swiss flags, like the one depicted in today’s Doodle. Families head to farms to enjoy a hearty farmer’s breakfast of fresh cheeses and crispy rösti. Bakeries serve special bread rolls called “Zopf.” In the evening, all the church bells in Switzerland ring out for a quarter of an hour while houses are decorated with paper lanterns.
Whether you call it Schweizer Bundesfeier in German, Fête nationale suisse in French, Festa nazionale svizzera in Italian, or Fiasta naziunala Svizra in Romansh, happy celebrating!
