Opening Festival: Bern Sustainability Days 2026
A free city festival on Bern’s car-free station square, with workshops, children’s activities, concerts and conversations about more sustainable everyday life.
Why it caught our eye
The festival brings sustainability into the centre of the city and invites people of all ages to try things, participate and meet local organisations. Topics range from food and mobility to clothing and how we live together.
What you can expect
Free workshops, children’s activities and concerts open the two-week Bern Sustainability Days. Around 70 local organisations contribute to the wider format, with a decentralised programme continuing across Bern later in September.
Good to know before you go
The opening festival is free and open to adults and children. Individual events in the later decentralised programme may have their own times, venues, registration requirements or conditions, so check each official programme entry. The page does not publish one continuous opening-festival timetable.
