Cantonal Festival – northwestern Switzerland

The Cantonal Festival – a unique event that celebrates the traditions and cultural diversity of a Swiss region in all its facets – will be held on our cultural stage (opposite the Degen restaurant).

This year, the focus is on Northwestern Switzerland. Visitors can look forward to authentic folk music and traditional dancing that characterise the region, as well as delicious culinary specialities.

Experience a lively meeting place full of social encounters, cultural diversity and atmospheric performances. The detailed programme will be published later in the season.
