SUMMARY:Venetian Carnival in Annecy\, France
DESCRIPTION:Copyright Wikimedia Commons\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Annecy Venetian Carnival may be one of the most amazing spectacles taking place just across the Swiss border in France. \n\n\n\nAnnecy is a truly beautiful French town located within a short drive from the "City of Calvin." A mere 35 km south of Geneva\, Annecy is well worth a visit any time of the year. There is a reason why Annecy is considered the most beautiful town in France.  \n\n\n\nThe charming Venice of the Alps offers exceptionally well-preserved medieval quarters that unfold through a series of intricate canals\, shaded by bridges overflowing with brightly colored geraniums and arcaded streets. \n\n\n\nIn this perfect alpine setting\, the Annecy Venetian Carnival traditionally takes place for two and a half days every spring. The medieval alleys of Annecy are filled with over 350 sumptuous Venetian masks who will stroll leisurely along the streets of the old town\, allowing visitors to admire and photograph them. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPractical information for the Annecy Venetian Carnival\n\n\n\nIf you are arriving by car from Switzerland\, take the A41 freeway to the exit 17: ANNECY NORD. An hourly regional train connection for Annecy departs Geneva at :42 and takes 1:34 hrs. \n\n\n\nThe main Venetian carnival parades are set to take place on Saturday and Sunday from 10 AM to 6 PM. At the Jardins de l’Europe at 2 PM\, the masks will be showcased.

SUMMARY:ZüriCarneval 2023 is more colorful than ever!
DESCRIPTION:The Fasnacht carnival tradition in Zürich may not be as substantial as in Basel or Luzern. But for one weekend\, the city’s own Mardi Gras is usually taking over the streets of Zürich. \n\n\n\nJazz concerts and steel band performances are highlights of the Zürich carnival tradition. The culmination of ZüriCarneval is a spectacular street show for everyone who loves confetti\, weird costumes\, and live music. \n\n\n\nThe kick-off to this year's edition will be on Münsterhof at 5 PM. The theme is "Zrugg und bunter den je\," which translates to "Back - and more colorful than ever before!" Check the ZüriCarneval website for more information on the program. \n\n\n\nIn remembrance of the beginning of the war in Ukraine\, the organizers will host a special event on Feb 24 at Grossmünster. From 5 to 8 PM\, Gugge bands will be staying away from this area out of respect. \n\n\n\nHere are some impressions from the 2012 edition of ZüriCarneval:\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick through for even more photographs of ZürichCarnival 2012 \n\n\n\nEveryday Life2024 Carnival Parades in Switzerland – Practical GuideEveryday LifeKnow these typical masks and costumes at Swiss carnivals

SUMMARY:Vogel Gryff Festival (Basel)
DESCRIPTION:Copyright Andreas Schwarzkopf/Wikipedia\n\n\n\nStarting at 11 AM in the morning\, strange things will happen at the Middle Rhine Bridge in Basel. \n\n\n\nIt may be a familiar sight for locals\, but visitors will be surprised by three mystical creatures: A savage man carrying a pine tree\, a lion\, and a griffin. \n\n\n\nBy the sound of drumbeat and gun salutes\, they will be bowing\, greeting people\, dancing and stomping\, while always facing the Kleinbasel district. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Vogel Gryff Festival in Basel\n\n\n\nThis local tradition dates back to the middle ages\, and the three symbolic figures represent the three societies of Kleinbasel: Rebhaus\, Hären\, and Greifen. \n\n\n\nCopyright Andreas Schwarzkopf/Wikipedia\n\n\n\nThe Vogel Gryff Festival used to have more of a political and military background. But by now\, it has been deeply entrenched in Swiss culture as a beloved social event. After the creatures finish their distinctive dancing and start marching through Kleinbasel\, people will join a common meal and then return to entertainment. \n\n\n\nWatch out for next year's dates: The Vogel Gryff Festival takes place alternately on January 13\, 20\, or 27...

SUMMARY:Double Cream Festival in Gruyères
DESCRIPTION:Meringues and cream\, anyone? Gruyères is once again inviting foodies to the popular Double Cream Festival. \n\n\n\nThe Double Cream Festival in Gruyères is quite possibly one of the sweetest events in Switzerland. It's one entire weekend dedicated to the creamy ingredient that makes desserts that much better. \n\n\n\n Copyright La Gruyère Tourisme \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nWhat the Double Cream Festival in Gruyères is all about\n\n\n\nLet's have a look at what’s on the festival's menu. Shops and restaurants in the heart of Gruyère's old town will take care of sweet and savory treats. From an alpine soup to Älpler Magronen\, different cakes to double cream candy... In previous years\, there was even a workshop to learn how this dangerously delicious mass is being made. \n\n\n\nAre the local bakers and confectioners going to try and break the world record by creating the largest meringue in the world? It remains to be seen. But if they do\, you can buy a chunk of meringue with a big dip of double cream on top! \n\n\n\nThe Double Cream Festival program also includes folk music\, cow parades\, and special exhibitions of double cream spoons and ancient agricultural machines. The entrance fees started at 18 francs\, which included various benefits such as free tastings\, a castle entrance\, and discounts for shops and museums. \n\n\n\nCopyright La Gruyère Tourisme

SUMMARY:Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival NIFFF
DESCRIPTION:Fans of genre cinema don't want to miss out on a world-renowned Swiss film festival: the Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival. \nBack for its 20th edition this summer\, NIFFF is the one and only genre film festival in Switzerland\, showcasing a variety of films from five continents. The selected films fall broadly into one or more of three main categories: Fantasy\, Asian Cinema\, and Digital Images. \nThe festival website has a bit more fun in bestowing the films with unique descriptions\, such as apocalyptic zombie comedy (Get the Hell Out\, Taiwan)\, fungal eco-horror (Gaia\, South Africa)\, and techno-mystical survival (In the Earth\, U.K.). \nAs with any film festival\, the entries are also in the running for various awards\, including an international competition and an H.R. Giger award for the best Swiss shorts. \n  \nWhen is the 2021 Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival?\nThe NIFFF runs from July 2 to 10 at six venues throughout Neuchâtel\, including one open-air theater. The festival will be showcasing over 50 feature films\, as well as assorted shorts and immersive VR productions. \n  \nSome highlights from the program of NIFFF 2021\nDue to the ongoing pandemic\, the seating capacity for each film will be limited this year\, with only 100 tickets available for indoor showings and 264 for the open-air venue. Tickets can be purchased online for 16 francs each\, though multi-passes and festival passes are also available for die-hard filmgoers. \nAs a half-Filipina\, I'm particularly looking forward to the feature Midnight in a Perfect World by filmmaker Dodo Dayao. \nSet in a near-utopian Manila in the not-too-distant future where power outages are nonetheless still frequent occurrences\, the film explores the horrors lurking in the darkness\, likely a metaphor for the trauma of living through years of martial law imposed by Marcos’ dictatorship in the 1970s and 80s\, and the ongoing brutal and deadly war on drugs of Duterte’s Philippines. \n(Copyright NIFFF)\n \nAnother film that has piqued my interest is the documentary A Glitch in the Matrix. It explores simulation theory\, or the idea that reality as we know it is not reality at all and that we are all living in a video game-like simulation controlled by a higher intelligence. \nFor fans of science fiction and conspiracy theories\, this film will have you debating about the concept of free will with your friends and family all summer. \n(Copyright NIFFF)\n \nFor fans of virtual reality\, NIFFF is also showcasing an assortment of immersive experiences this year. Consider the Taiwanese satirical comedy Great Hoax: The Moon Landing in which you get to fake a moon landing for the Taiwanese government. \nAlternatively\, if you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to be a bat\, you’re in luck\, thanks to the Swiss VR short Batvision. \nThere's something for everyone at this one-of-a-kind film festival\, all set in the charming lakeside town of Neuchâtel. \n  \nDon't miss out and book your tickets before it's too late!\n \nView the full program and buy your festival tickets online\n \n \nPublished by Stephanie Bowman

SUMMARY:Ascona Jazz Night
DESCRIPTION:For one night only\, the charming town of Ascona will turn into a metropolis of live music. \nWhen you walk along the plaza by the lake or skip from one alley to another\, there will be vibes of Chicago\, Nashville or New Orleans in the air. More than two dozen acts are expected to perform on various stages and street corners in Ascona. There will be Blues\, Brass\, Brazilian Samba\, Dixieland\, Funk\, Gospel\, Jazz\, Pop\, Swing and Vocal.  \nFor instance\, take Romina a.k.a. Charlie Roe\, a super talented Swiss singer and songwriter who will perform by the marina. Or Brazzini\, a Brass band that will wander the streets - "live and unplugged." \nNot to be confused with JazzAscona\, the ten day festival taking place in June\, Ascona Jazz Night is a unique opportunity to experience this town from a new angle. We expect a relaxed setting and are hoping for a warm night! \nWhat better place to stay than the Jazz Hotel Ascona?\nWe have booked our room at the newly renovated Jazz Hotel Ascona\, located just a few steps from the main action. The interior reflects the name of the hotel as there are music posters all over the place! If we find any time to sleep at all\, we will surely dream to the tunes of Miles\, Duke and Louis... \n(Photograph copyright Jazz Hotel Ascona)

SUMMARY:Traditional Swiss Cow Fighting (Leukerbad)
DESCRIPTION:Imagine bullfighting in Spain. \nNow\, take away the bullring\, heat\, bulls and torreros and add mountains\, snow and a bunch of temperamental black cows with huge bells around their necks. \nWe are talking about Swiss cow fighting. These cow fights involve less human influence and violence compared to bullfighting. Instead\, fighting is a part of a cows' natural behavior for determining their place of dominance in the herd's hierarchy. \n \nEight typical Hérens cows from Valais will fight each other in a direct duel\, and the winner will be honored as the Queen. The traditional cow fights in Leukerbad offer a unique atmosphere\, and admission is free. So\, before you soak in those warm Leukerbad springs\, make sure you visit Flaschen for this event! \n(Photos copyright Leukerbad Tourismus/torrent.ch)

SUMMARY:Check out the Grape Festival in Mendrisio (Sagra del Borgo)
DESCRIPTION:The town of Mendrisio is known for its historical monuments\, churches\, charming alleyways and courtyards. \nLocated at the southern tip of Ticino\, Mendrisio has an illustrious past which can still be felt today. What better time to get acquainted with this typical Ticino town than during Sagra del Borgo? There has always been a grape festival\, but the town has revamped the concept as of 2017\, paying tribute to the before-mentioned courtyards. \nCourtyard action - Mendrisio style\nAs you will see\, traditional houses in Mendrisio have terracotta rooftops and magnificent inner courtyards. During the time of the festival\, a line-up of events will be happening in eight of those courtyards. From Jazz and Big Band concerts to children's workshops\, the aim is to relive the customs and traditions of the Mendrisio district. On the town's piazzas\, there will be family activities\, magic shows and more. \nFinally\, we are particularly keen to trying the polenta dishes that will be served hot and fresh throughout Sagra del Borgo. Depending on the courtyard\, you will find polenta with mountain cheese\, local salami\, beef or even game meat like deer! Did I mention the excellent local wines? \nAdmission is just 8 francs per person\, but it is free on Friday and Saturday before 6:30 PM\, as well as all day on Sunday. \n(Photographs copyright Sagra del Borgo)

SUMMARY:Zurich Film Festival 2019 - Everything you need to know
DESCRIPTION:Even fifteen years in\, every new edition of the Zurich Film Festival has its own distinct vibe. \nBy focusing on one country each year\, the ZFF gives a stage to new generations of filmmakers. We really like the "New World View" format because the line-up of screenings\, often in the presence of the filmmakers\, quite literally exposes us to a new world. After Argentina\, Brazil and Mexico in previous years\, the organizers will now shine a light on Colombian cinema. \nColombian cinema at the Zurich Film Festival\nGeorg Bütler\, senior programmer at the Zurich Film Festival\, explains that Colombian cinema is so appealing because of its urgency. The tone of these young Colombian filmmakers is uncompromising. And the stories out of Columbia's metropolises are contemporary and very much locally rooted. \nHe goes on: "Protagonists of the films are often young people who live in the metropolises of Medellín and Bogotá. They are still looking for their place in a confusing world." There will be a dozen feature films by Colombian directors\, including documentaries. \nEuropean premieres\nIt would not be the Zurich Film Festival without a slew of European premieres and special screenings. Despite a tremendous line-up which has grown to more than 170 films from 58 countries\, the ZFF has remained compact and easy to navigate. \nThe participating theaters are within city limits\, meaning that they can be reached by foot or by tram. Almost every night\, the green carpet in front of the Corso cinema turns into a Hollywood Walk of Fame. In previous years\, we have spotted icons such as Benicio del Toro\, Judi Dench\, Diane Keaton or Johnny Depp from close up. This year's ZFF Masters sessions will be headed by Hollywood stars Javier Bardem\, Donald Sutherland\, Roland Emmerich and Oliver Stone.  \nHere's the actor Christoph Waltz who visited the ZFF in 2015: \n\n  \nOur advice\nThose who simply want to experience the magic of the movies should stop by the festival center at Sechseläutenplatz. Plastered with movie posters\, the buzz there will allow you to have your own 15 minutes of fame as you sip on a drink at the bar or chew on popcorn while feeling the buzz that only the film industry can create. \nAnd the movie buffs should take our advice and get the Multi-Pass. It's basically a golden ticket for unlimited movie screenings! And for sold out screenings\, returned tickets go on sale 15 minutes before the respective film begins. \nThe line-up will be released on Thursday\, Sept 12. Tickets go on sale on Monday\, Sept 16\, 2019. \nSo\, are you ready for 11 days of film? Like every September\, we are hungry to see what the Zurich Film Festival has in store...\n \nOur coverage from previous ZFF editions: 2011\, 2012\, Meeting Oliver Stone. \nNot that you would need them\, but here are 11 reasons to visit the Zurich Film Festival.

SUMMARY:Bergkönig - Swiss Vintage Cycling Festival (Gstaad)
DESCRIPTION:This summer\, the most beautiful steel bikes are coming back to the Swiss Alps. \nSwiss alpine roads have always been a legendary challenge for fast cyclists from all over the world. In fact\, most Tour de Suisse editions ended up being decided on alpine passes. And Switzerland has brought to the world some of the greatest racers of all time. \nIntroducing: Bergkönig\, the Swiss Vintage Bicycling Festival.\nNow is the time to celebrate these roads and the Swiss cycling tradition. And what place might be suited better as the home for this new Vintage Cycling Festival than Gstaad? This part of Switzerland is surrounded by some of the most beautiful passes and mountain roads offering tough challenges and spectacular views. Also\, Gstaad went cycle crazy when Swiss hero\, Hugo Koblet\, crossed the finish line here in 1950. Ascending all the way from Lausanne\, Koblet finished first in this leg of the Tour de Suisse in 1950. (He later won the entire tour!) \nStyle is a major concern of the organizers.\nThey want you to ride in vintage clothing or bring a classic car! Your creativity will be rewarded as there will be several special trophies... \n\n  \nThe event is open for all bicycles up to 1986\, and the racers' attire has to be vintage.\nFind out more \n(All photographs copyright Bergkönig)

SUMMARY:PerBacco! is a grape harvest festival in Bellinzona
DESCRIPTION:This rather young grape harvest festival in Bellinzona has quickly established itself. \nNo wonder\, because the four-day PerBacco! festival offers just the right balance of entertainment and cultural exploration. Be it parades or concerts on the various stages\, the streets of Bellinzona's historic center will be filled with sights and sounds. \nPaying tribute to Bellinzona's long tradition in viticulture\, the program allows all ages to connect with the wine culture. Be it through guided tours or wine tastings\, PerBacco! is a great chance to learn about this important part of Swiss heritage. One event not to miss is the pressing of the grapes on Saturday. \nMore than two dozen wine producers will be offering their vintages for tastings. Among the vast selection\, we will be looking out for the local Bianco di Merlot by brothers Luca and Carlo Frasa. \n \nThe PerBacco! Market\nBellinzona has a regular Saturday market which we highly recommend. But on Friday\, Saturday and Sunday during the festival\, this outdoor market will be showcasing additional producers. Think booths selling everything from locally produced salami or jams to clothing\, handmade jewelry or greeting cards. \n- Friday from 5 PM until midnight\n- Saturday from 4 PM until midnight\n- Sunday from 10 AM to 5 PM \n \nAbout the 2019 Photo Contest\nWhen you visit PerBacco!\, bring along your camera and capture the essence of Ticino's wine culture. Be it scenic vineyards\, wine tastings in rustic cellars or the wine-growers themselves: you may submit your entries through the website in order to be awarded a prize by the jury. \n(All photographs copyright PerBacco Bellinzona/Flickr)

SUMMARY:Paléo Festival 2019 in Nyon
DESCRIPTION:Did you know that the Paléo Festival is one of the biggest open-air festivals in Switzerland? \nIt all started back in 1976 near the city of Nyon. Every year around mid July\, the festival grounds are abuzz for six straight days and nights... In fact\, the Paléo Festival has gained so much attraction\, tickets have been selling out extremely fast since about the year 2000. \nWhat to expect at the Paléo Festival in Nyon?\nWith more than six stages and around 280 concerts\, the Paléo is an unmissable event! People come from all over just to see their favorite artists and experience one of the best weeks of the year. This music festival is all about diversity. Trust me: with its different styles of music and the vast amount of food stalls from around the world\, you will not get bored. \nOne of the concepts that makes Paléo so unique is "Le Village du Monde" - the world's village. There\, a different region of the world is exposed every year. In 2019\, Paléo will have Quebec as their theme. And as for the concerts this year\, make sure to look out for big stars such as Twenty One Pilots\, Lana Del Rey\, The Cure and Shaka Ponk. Also\, Lomepal and Soprano. \nAs you can tell\, there will be music to satisfy anyone's taste. You can start purchasing tickets online starting April 3 at noon. Make sure to be quick since they tend to sell out very fast! You can either choose between a single ticket or a weekly pass. \nMy advice: If all the tickets are unfortunately sold out\, no worries: Paléo puts a certain amount of tickets up for sale every morning for that particular day before the festival begins.
