Event calendar

Let pianist Gabriel E. Arnold transport you to the world of the Northern Lights and join him on a journey into the snowy north.

Join young and old alike to hit the streets just before Christmas. Participants will be cheered on by crowds of spectators lining the streets – it is an event for the whole family to enjoy.

To see out the year in style, our exclusive Ballroom opens its doors for a very special event. Enjoy the gala dinner with live music, dazzling show acts and dance the night away into the early hours of New Year’s Day. Or you enjoy a gourmet dinner in The Restaurant or an evening meal in the Saltz restaurant. Afterwards, you have the best views of Zurich and the fireworks.

The 8 April 2018 is reserved for the city’s most important occasion, Sechseläuten, which kicks off with a parade of the guilds to Sechseläutenplatz. At 6.00 p.m., a bonfire is set alight and the “Böögg” – a snowman made of papier mâché – is placed on top of it and left to meet his fate.

From 5 to 7 July 2019 the lower basin of Lake Zurich is transformed into one big party venue: for three days, hundreds of thousands of visitors celebrate the “Züri Fäscht” in the parks on both sides of the lake.
