Switzerland Tourism has launched an early campaign for 2019 highlighting a range of special events to attract visitors to the country particularly from April onwards.
From April 9-13, Zermatt Unplugged will be on ? this is a music festival held in Zermatt, a town better known for winter sports. Performers will include Tom Odell, Boy George and Passenger, with 80 concerts across 13 different locations in the village and three in the mountains.
The Zurich Festival will be held from July 5-7 with the area around the River Limmat and the lake basin taken over by music acts, as well as food stands serving cuisine from around the world.
Foodies might also be interested in the once-in-a-generation F?te des Vignerons, which runs from July 18 until August 11. This takes place in Vevey in the Lake Geneva region and attracts wine and music lovers. One of the highlights is a show about the story of the region?s wine growers which will be performed 20 times by around 5,000 actors, singers and dancers.
The Kunstmuseum Lucerne is hosting a Turner exhibition in collaboration with the Tate from July 6 until October 13 in Lucerne, showcasing the British artist?s paintings of Switzerland. For a change of pace, the Swiss Mountain Wrestling Festival will be held in Zug from August 23-25.
