There’s tons of family and kids friendly festivals in Switzerland that bring you the best of two worlds: fun, music and entertainment, but also family friendly facilities and activities. We have compiled for you below the ultimate list of the best Open Air Kids Festivals in Switzerland.
Almost halfway into the year, it’s finally time to leave the cosy couch behind and step outside to enjoy the sunshine and some fresh air. It’s not only good for you, your kids will thank you, too – after all, who doesn’t love a bit of warmth and sunshine in their lives? With summer coming, festival season is fast approaching, too. Festival season? Isn’t that irrelevant for anyone who’s older than 20 and wants to enjoy some peaceful time with their family, you might ask. Not at all, we say!
Will not take place in 2018
Sponsored by supermarket group coop, this popular family friendly festival has everything that you could possibly want from a festival for kids and grown ups – Swiss music acts, clowns, a beautiful campground and a surprise event in the evening. Impressed kids guaranteed!
Another festival where the name says it all: This festival is made for families, for parents and kids alike. Taking place on August 13, its highlight is Bill and Benno concert that your children will be talking about for at least a month after the event.
This legendary family festival has it all: Music, kids’ activities, comedy shows and yoga and meditation lessons for stressed out parents. A self declared “festival for three generations”, this one’s sure to be as family friendly as can be. There’s even a food market with everything from vegan sweets to grilled sausages. Certainly one that shouldn’t be missed!
This one day festival is focused on fun activities for your little ones – and on music, of course. There will be face painting stalls, all the food, bouncing castles and more. One of the smaller festivals for kids, this is an easy to plan, great day out for the whole family.
May-September all over Switzerland
This festival tour will surely come to a place that can easily be reached from wherever you are in Switzerland – it lasts from May until September, after all. Coming to a town near you with numerous Swiss music acts for young and old, this is one of the top things to do with kids in Switzerland this summer.

Can’t pick just one? We recommend you create your personal summer activity plan for the whole family. Who says you can’t go to all the festivals? We recommend pairing ones that have loads of great music like Kinderland Openair with ones that offer a broader range of activities like one of our favourites, Sonne Mond Sterne.
