The National Holiday celebration in Stoos combines music, tradition, and relaxing moments in the mountains. The village festival invites you to enjoy the festivities, meet new people, and take part in the lantern parade and bonfire.

On August 1, Switzerland celebrates its birthday. In Stoos, the festivities begin as early as July 31 and continue from the afternoon well into the evening. It’s a laid-back, lively atmosphere right in the heart of the mountains.

Stoosplatz becomes a gathering place for enjoyment, socializing, and living tradition. The village festival brings people together: locals, visitors, and everyone who appreciates authentic mountain experiences. A relaxed festival atmosphere with musical entertainment ranging from traditional to modern sets the perfect mood. Sometimes Schwyzerörgeli, sometimes a band. The main thing is good vibes.

A special moment is the festival address by National Council member Heinz Theiler, accompanied by the sounds of the alphorn and flag-waving—a moment to listen, pause, and savor.

As dusk falls, the magic of the mountains takes over. The lantern parade makes children’s eyes light up, and the bonfire bathes the night in warm light.

A celebration that blends tradition with a lighthearted spirit. Deliberately without fireworks, but with all the more atmosphere to make up for it.
