Intro

A colorful event for young and old: children's entertainment, goods and crafts market, medieval gastronomy, jugglers, minstrels, shows - medieval times to marvel at and experience!

O ye fair and faithful folk! The medieval spectacle anno 1291 is calling!

Every year on the weekend around August 1st, the Swiss national holiday, the Allmend in Altstätten SG becomes the setting for a festive event that is all about the Swiss Confederation. Celebrate Switzerland's cradle with us and immerse yourself in a world full of knights, jugglers, magicians and much more.

A special surprise:

On the national holiday, August 1, a bonfire will be lit - and not just any bonfire! A real bonfire straight out of the Middle Ages that will light up the sky above Altstätten.

Come, come in droves and let's celebrate the cradle of the Swiss Confederation together! A celebration you won't forget - full of adventure, art and culinary delights!

Come on, come on - the Middle Ages are calling!
