Cherry Storm of Zug
Overview
When the legendary Chriesigloggä bells of St. Michael’s Church ring at noon, the Chriesisturm—a spectacular race featuring 10 two-person teams and 8-meter-long cherry ladders—begins in Zug’s Old Town near the Liebfrauen Chapel, 5 children’s teams with shorter cherry ladders, and 5 women with cherry huts. This crowd-pleasing event marks the official start of Zug’s cherry season and is one of the city’s most important social occasions.
After the race, the award ceremony—accompanied by music—and the traditional Chriesisturm feast take place on Landsgemeindeplatz, featuring cherry sausage, Zuger Kirsch, and Zuger Kirschtorte.
On the same day, the traditional cherry sale takes place on Landsgemeindeplatz, where cherry farmers from across the Zug region offer table cherries fresh from the tree, including rare delicacies from standard cherry trees. You can also purchase cherry sausages, kirsch, cherry cakes, and other cherry specialties.
You are warmly welcome to Zug, the “Cherry City,” with its 400-year-old, vibrant cherry culture.
