Save the Dates! Yes, PLURAL! Saturday 25.11. & Sunday 26.11.23
The Swiss Alpine Festival will run over two days this year and feature elements around the most loved (alpine) festivals and Christmas markets in Switzerland.
Location: The Pig & Whistle, Main Ridge, VIC (same as last year)
While we are working hard on organizing all the bits and pieces, we'd love to call out to anyone who would love to be part of it and give us a hand this year!
As a non-for profit organization, we rely on sponsors and volunteers! We are also on the lookout for exciting stallholders (food), market stalls (crafts, art, food) and entertainers (music, kids entertainment, storytellers). Of course all with keeping the Swiss Vibe in mind!
If you would like to get involved, please contact Rolf (details on the flyer below) or send us a DM with your details and we will get in touch.
Feel free to share the Swissness and invite your friends and family to save the date!
