Festivals and cultural events Zurich

It's one of the biggest Latin music festivals in Europe! Tropical South American music sets Helvetiaplatz on fire. The area is cordoned off to make room for the dancers and spectators. An incredible atmosphere! The music and dance goes on, and the tropical sun shines down on Zurich for a few days. The programme includes merengue concerts, national and international DJs and samba dance performances. A large market with 250 stands also offers exotic specialities and drinks.

The Zürcher Theater Spektakel is an international theater and performing arts festival that has been held every summer in the Landiwiese Park since 1980. For several weeks from mid-August to the beginning of September, street artists from all over the world take to the stage outdoors to enchant you with their shows. It is one of the most important European festivals of its kind! A must-see event for the whole family if you are visiting Zurich during this period.
