Erlebe die 49. Winterthurer Musikfestwochen

Experience the 49th Winterthur Music Festival

The 49th Winterthur Music Festival takes place from August 7 to 18. 12 days, 7 stages, 100 acts, 60,000 visitors in the old town of Winterthur. 9 out of 12 days are free. This is unique in Switzerland.

The festival has established a firm place for itself in cultural and social life. For 12 days, it is a meeting place for the whole region - a meeting place for people of all ages, income levels and social backgrounds. Around 1,200 volunteers and a 48-member volunteer organizing committee make the festival possible in the first place. This togetherness helps to enrich the local cultural scene and provides low-threshold access to live music.


Diverse family program

Practice makes perfect. This also applies to a well-groomed concert visit and the healthy development of a personal Musikfestwochen relationship. The Festival OC has prepared some super fun and colorful experiences for children.

On the two children's afternoons from Sunday, August 11 and Wednesday, August 14, 2024 we will be on site with a stand on the church square. The kids can expect a cool course with various elements such as stacking stones, wooby balance boards, slackline or palettino. There will be a prize for everyone who takes part.

You also have the opportunity to take part in a competition with great prizes. We will be at our stand from 2 p.m. to 5 p.m. and look forward to seeing you!
