August 1st is Switzerland’s National Day (Schweizer Bundesfeiertag)

Explanation: Switzerland doesn’t have a separate Flag Day, but August 1—National Day—is the main holiday when the red flag with a white cross flies everywhere. It celebrates the founding of the Swiss Confederation in 1291, when Schwyz, Uri, and Unterwalden allied at Rütli Meadow. The square flag, with its white cross for neutrality and Christianity, was set on December 12, 1889, rooted in Schwyz’s 13th-century arms. Across Switzerland, flags wave, mountain bonfires glow, fireworks light up, and the president speaks at Rütli, marking unity and heritage. It’s a public holiday.
