Biedermeier Festival in Heiden
Overview
Intro
Heiden transforms into a vibrant Biedermeier setting and welcomes the guest canton of Nidwalden with tradition, culture, and culinary delights.
The Biedermeier Festival is held every four years and transforms the village into a lively 19th-century setting; with around 400 people in period costume, a market featuring traditional crafts, and numerous attractions, the festival brings the past to life.
A special highlight of the festival is the grand historical parade on Sunday, September 6, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. Along a route of about 1.4 kilometers, numerous groups will present themselves to the audience.
In 2026, the festival will be dedicated to the canton of Nidwalden. As the guest canton, Nidwalden will showcase its traditions, culture, and culinary specialties to a wide audience. Enjoy the special atmosphere of the Biedermeier Festival and experience it up close.
Starting August 20, 2026, the smallest pop-up museum in the Lake Constance region will be open on Heiden Church Square. A walk-in Biedermeier cabinet serves as the pop-up museum’s exhibition space.
