Events in Vaud - Carnival Events 2026/27

Brandons of Payerne are one of the oldest carnivals in Switzerland. A weekend per year in Payerne, the madness is not only authorized, but also recommended...

Masked balls, processions, lit torches, funny floats, Guggenmusik, and other activities fill the streets of these medieval towns during a weekend.

Avenches Carnival is shaking the city up from the winter season to the sound of Guggenmusiks and to the rythme of the colourful processions.
