Heirassa Festival 2026
Switzerland's biggest folk music festival offers a very high standard of traditional Swiss music.
Come to the Heirassa Festival in Weggis and enjoy four glorious days in the presence of the most popular Swiss folk musicians. Around 40 high-calibre ensembles playing over 100 hours of folk music across 15 venues.
The Swiss musicians Dani Häusler and Severin Barmettler are responsible for the programme.
The 21st Heirassa Festival will take place from Thursday, June 4, 2026 to Sunday, June 7, 2026 in Weggis. The focus is on Alois Schilliger (1924 to 2004). The Weggis native was one of the greatest Swiss folk musicians. In 1954, he composed his famous "Heirassa-Polka", a Rhineland polka. In 1959, together with Walter Grob (accordion) and Kaspar Muther (clarinet and saxophone), he founded the folk band Heirassa, which thus had a house title.
