Liechtenstein national holiday

Liechtenstein celebrates its national holiday on 15th August.

This national celebration was introduced in 1940 and is closely linked to the birthday of Prince Franz-Josef II on 16th August. 

The state holiday will be presented in an alternative form in 2021.

Small celebrations with family and friends, instead of a folk festival in Städtle and a shining Liechtenstein in the evening instead of fireworks, are central elements of the celebrations this year.
