Edition 43 from July 15–18
The 43rd Gurtenfestival will take place from July 15 to 18, 2025. Once again, the Gurten will be the backdrop for a diverse music and cultural program. International stars, regional artists, and a unique atmosphere characterize the festival. With its special atmosphere and view over Bern, the Gurtenfestival remains a highlight of the summer.
Due to the setting up and dismantling of the festival, restrictions are to be expected in the Gurten – Park im Grünen from June to around the beginning of August.
The festival, as well as its setup and takedown, will result in restrictions on other operations at Gurten – Park im Grünen. Setup begins in early June, and takedown is completed in early August.
