“Schwingen” Events in Burgdorf
In August, the town of Burgdorf has not one, not two, but three Schwingfeste (Swiss wrestling events) lined up. So if you find yourself in the Emmental at the beginning of the month, swing by and you’ll be rewarded with plenty of entertainment.
The Oberaargauisches Schwingfest kicks things off on 1 August. But there’s not much time to brush off the sawdust, as another highlight follows two days later, on 3 August, on Burgdorf’s Schützenmatte: the Emmentalisches Schwingfest. The eventful days come to an end on 11 August with the grand finale, the Bernisch-Kantonales Schwingfest. With that much going on, it won’t just be the wrestlers who are kept on their toes!

And there’s even more entertainment in addition to the competitions: different DJs to keep the Schützenmatte shaking until well into the night and the Unteremmentalisches Jodlerfest on 2 August with some excellent yodelling. You can find the complete programme here.
