About
The Basel Tattoo takes its music out of the arena and onto the streets of downtown Basel. All the Tattoo's formations, plus guest bands from Switzerland and abroad, march the route. Kids watch from the roadside as the bands pass. The organizers compare the buzz in the city to Basel carnival. It suits families whose kids like loud, colorful music.
