Three days and two nights of music, concerts, welcoming street cafés, stalls and street performers mingling with the crowds. Deeply rooted in the watchmaking tradition, the ‘Horlofolies’ watch festival is a major folk festival that originated during a period of economic hardship, the global recession 80 years ago. Just like the city’s architecture, the Braderie owes its continued existence to the close ties it has forged with the town’s industrial and economic history. Thanks to the recognition of La Chaux-de-Fonds, it has now also been included on the UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage list. These are festivities with a traditional spirit, offering free entertainment and concerts.
