About
Basel starts Swiss National Day a night early with a huge street party along both banks of the Rhine. Families sit at festival benches by the water, eat from more than 90 food and drink stalls, and catch live concerts, alphorns included. Around 100,000 people come, and the fireworks pack the bridges. It suits kids who enjoy crowds and a late night.
