Folklore Festival
Overview
Intro
What began in 1969 on a small scale has since grown into the largest cultural summer event in Zermatt.
Associations from all over Switzerland show their tradition with music, traditional costumes, dances and colourful costumes from nostalgic times. The big parade through Zermatt is the highlight. In addition, guests can expect a wide variety of food and drink, performances by the clubs and an exciting entertainment programme for children. The net proceeds from the festival go to the Zermatt Youth Fund. Every franc helps the youth to implement various projects in Zermatt.
Information about the detailed programme will follow.
The traditional parade takes place on Sunday at 13:30.
