The Midsummer Festival delights visitors from all over Switzerland with its cosy atmosphere, its unique backdrop and its exciting, very diverse range of performing artists.
If you've been to the Midsummer Festival before, you don't have to pull the rustic bacon out of your mouth to motivate you to visit again. What it's like when the crème de la crème of Swiss music and equally virtuoso foreign acts fill the Simmental with sound on the longest day of the year. There is a magic that spreads when the bacon-fat beats call the Simmen Falls to a thunderous dance and the amazement of the bands as they let their eyes wander over the audience and soak up this incredible backdrop. Young and old alike enjoy two long days and short nights on and off the stage at an unagitated festival of music, with plenty to eat and drink and even more to savour, as the regional culinary offerings make a welcome, tasty change from the typical festival monotony. Actually, there is nothing typical about this festival, but... You have to experience it for yourself to understand it. So come along, you music-loving people, and let your ears, palates and hearts be spoilt.
