MOON & STARS LOCARNO

The “Moon and Stars” on the Piazza Grande would be an integral part of the diary. It is a fixed part of the Locarno summer program and not without reason. Pop and rock stars, who are at home on the biggest stages in the world, find their way onto the cobbled Piazza Grande and enchant the heart of Locarno into a bubbling cauldron. The rousing atmosphere in the open air makes you forget that you are in the middle of a city, surrounded by restaurants and shops.

CAMELIA PARK LOCARNO

The camellia park is worth a visit, whether for camellia lovers or for those looking for a bit of peace in the middle of nature. The park is divided into a large number of beds and designed to form a kind of maze in which visitors can move among the flowering plants and lose themselves in the sumptuous nature, in the singing of the birds and the sound of the waves of the lake.

The spring event “Camelie Locarno” takes place once a year. The camellia park, which is part of the “Gardens of Switzerland”, is open to all visitors as normal during the day.
