Celebrate August 1st in the Glarnerland
The national holiday begins in the best possible way with a delicious 1st August brunch – and ends with bonfires, music and convivial get-togethers. In between, there is plenty of time to enjoy the Glarner mountain scenery before celebrating together in the evening. In short: first the Zopf (a type of bread), then fireworks (or at least a bonfire).
Braunwald

That’s how National Day feels on the sun terrace of the Glarnerland.
