On August 1, Basel’s official celebration of Swiss National Day takes place on the Bruderholz. The grounds open at 17:00, and there will be children’s activities to entertain the family with food and entertainment from The Mojo Swamp (blues-rock with southern vibes), Pyro (rap in Basel dialect), and the Quartier Circus Bruederholz. After his speech at 21:00, the president of the Basel Grand Council, Beat Herzer, will start off the lantern procession with hundreds of children and light a fire. This is followed by singer Nicole Bernegger, who will be demonstrating Swiss soul power and at the end be singing the national anthem with the audience. The grand finale will be a fascinating fire show that will also transform the sky above the Bruderholz into a sparkling spectacle.
