Swiss National Day on the Rhine

On July 31, Basel celebrates Swiss National Day with a spectacular fireworks show on the Rhine River.

The festival area, which extends from Johanniterbrücke to Wettsteinbrücke in Kleinbasel and from Johanniterbrücke to Mittlere Brücke and Marktplatz in Grossbasel, features about 100 stalls that add to the celebratory atmosphere from 5 p.m. until 2 a.m. The Kleinbasel bank of the Rhine between Johanniterbrücke and Wettsteinbrücke is the best place to watch the fireworks display launched from two boats.

Opening hours: Mon 17:00 - 02:00

Fireworks at 23:00
