Bern City Festival

19 - 21 June 2026

Bern City Festival, the Berner Stadtfest, brings Bern to life for three days with live music, food, culture and experiences for all ages.

Bern City Festival, or the “Bärner Stadtfescht” as locals call it, brings Bern to life for three days. On the streets and squares between Bern main station and the Nydegg Bridge, visitors can enjoy a varied programme with over 50 live concerts, including James Gruntz, Open Season and Veronica Fusaro. The full line-up and further programme details are available on the official website. Cultural performances, market stalls, activities and food stalls with regional and international specialities invite visitors to discover, try out, enjoy and linger.

Bern’s city festival thrives on the commitment of many local clubs, cultural creators, institutions and businesses. Together, they create a festival that brings people together and showcases the diversity of the city of Bern. Good to know: the entire festival is free to attend. Anyone who would still like to support the organisation can buy a “BÄRNfän” festival wristband for CHF 15.
