The biggest event this weekend in central Switzerland will be the Jodelfest in Zug, starting on Friday at 13.00 and running until Sunday. This will be the chance for you to discover this very Swiss cultural tradition. Jodelling groups from all over Switzerland will be singing their hearts out, whilst wearing beautiful traditional costumes. There will also be alphorn concerts and flag throwing demonstrations, and, of course, plenty of opportunities to drink and be merry. A parade will take place on Sunday through the town from 14.00 to 16.00.
