Thunfest

The Thunfest is Switzerland’s largest annual town festival and offers live music, delicious food and refreshing drinks, and an exciting programme that has everyone buzzing. With open-air performances of Swiss rock and pop hits, and bars thronging the town’s narrow lanes, the 3-day town festival is sure to have something for you too. Each year at the beginning of August, tens of thousands flock to the Kyburg town true to the motto of “Mä gseht sech” – “I’ll see you there” – in order to celebrate summer and the Thunfest in the company of good friends and great music.

The Thunfest is more that just a festival. As a music fan, you will be able to enjoy over 20 live bands and DJs while children can release their energy in the family zone. The Thunfest is a place to get together and have a good time. The town is divided into various themed zones, including zones in which the focus is on families, but there is also a party zone and a concert zone. This enables the festival to provide entertainment for young and old alike, and is easier for visitors to navigate. Entrance into the family zone as well as the catering zone and party zone is free of charge. You need a concert wristband for the concert zone only. The Thunfest is financed by the sale of badges which you as a visitor have the option of buying to support this special festival.
