Basel-Stadt, Basel-Landschaft and Jura in Vevey

28 July 2019

The cantons of Basel-Stadt, Basel-Landschaft and Jura were (re) united in Vevey. The Fête des Vignerons takes place at intervals of about one generation or twenty to twenty-five years.

It is also the first time that the 26 cantons make their appearance on one of the 21 days of the event. More than 5,000 actors, 800 singers and 100 musicians perform twice a day in a perfectly arranged spectacle in a temporary stadium (for 20,000 spectators) on the market square.

The gods of wine were in a bad mood on 28 July, but the three cantons were (re) united in Vevey.
