Streetfood Festival Interlaken Ost

The Streetfood Festival Tour is coming to Interlaken on May 24-26. Over 45 food stalls will be offering delicious food from all over the world on Untere Bönigstrasse, under the tree canopy in front of the youth hostel / Raiffeisenbank.

The national tour will break the 2.5 million barrier in 2024.

The "Original Streetfood Festival Tour" is already entering its 9th season, right across Switzerland. After 103 festivals and an incredible 2.36 million visitors. What began in 2015 with a one-day event in Olten is now a roadshow through all language regions with 19 three-day festivals and around 900 stands. While at the beginning you had to explain to the authorities what street food was, today you can find food trucks on the street in many places, as catering at events and street food dishes on the menus of Michelin-starred chefs. Street food basically stands for freshly prepared dishes in mobile kitchens, is sustainable and is now an integral part of Swiss gastronomic culture. Originally celebrated in Asia, South America and Africa, today over 2.5 billion people eat the mostly regional products, which are often served as finger food, every day. It has long since become an important branch of industry in Switzerland too.

At the festivals, you can meet the world's food cultures in a cozy market atmosphere with 45 stalls and without a plane ticket or check-in. The small tasting portions available everywhere are a great way to discover new dishes and embark on a culinary journey. With free admission and a new concept children's area (open on Saturday and Sunday), the trendy event is a fun festival for all ages.

The experience also includes various themed bars with aperitifs, cocktails, wine, beer and premium gin tasting. Colorful LED fairy lights, beautifully decorated grounds, street performers and plenty of seating make the event a happening. As every year, the creative minds in the team will make the festival even more beautiful and incorporate innovations. New bars and a stage for bands and DJs will also be built. The range of drinks will also be adapted. A freshly prepared drink at the bar or would you prefer a beer tasting? Variety and new taste experiences are guaranteed. Whether the sun is shining or it's raining, weather-protected areas are always available and ensure a cozy get-together.

Together with our partner JCI #nofoodwaste, we are also committed to combating food waste in 2024. Among other things, leftover food is donated to those in need. The cycle closes with the valuable cooperation with the Association of the Swiss Gas Industry, the local gas supplier and the biogas plant operator. Swiss biogas is produced from the biogenic food and cooking waste and the used frying oil. Once again this year, biogenic waste will be collected at 9 locations on the tour and processed into renewable energy in one of over 42 biogas plants, which will then be fed directly into the gas grid. Visitors on site will be made aware of the correct separation of organic waste, which can be processed into Swiss biogas, at an interactive stand.

We recommend traveling to the festival by local public transport with our festival partner SBB.

Thanks to the RailAway Combi, visitors benefit from a special offer when traveling there and back by public transport. Further information and purchase at sbb.ch/streetfood
