August 1, is a Swiss National Holiday. It is the founding of the Swiss Confederation in 1291. The first of August national celebration started since 1891. It is the date that marks historic alliance concluded in 1291 by the three cantons (federal states) of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden. That alliance made was the pillar that built Switzerland over the next 500 years.

Old Swiss Inn joins the celebration of this important day in the Swiss History. En schöne 1. August!
