Alas, no fireworks for Zurich

Despite some last-minute rain, the powers that be decided to ban fireworks for Swiss National Day after all. The ban is in place for almost the entire country and is due to the dangerously dry conditions that exist thanks to a summer of unbearable heat.

But never fear, the rest of the celebration will go on. Zurich has a full program of events scheduled for tomorrow, including Alphorn concernts! After almost a year in Switzerland, we have yet to see a real, live Alphorn. For a schedule of the Swiss National Day celebrations in Zurich, click here. The program is conveniently available in multiple languages (listed on the right-hand side of the page). Enjoy.

  1. Keep it up, Lemming, and you’re going to end up with a houseguest for 3 months each year… you’re lucky the temperature finally dropped here, or I’d be at your doorstep by now (guest room finished or not).
