Swiss National Day Family Fest

Celebrate under glowing lanterns and sparkling fireworks. Wander through colorful lights and live music, ride a carousel, try playful sumo suits or watch axe throwing demonstrations, and gather around a crackling bonfire. Sing along with patriotic songs and admire the flags as the lantern procession moves through the park. Taste treats from friendly food trucks and feel the night fill with warmth, music, and bright colors.

In French. Kids ages 0 and up.
