On 1 August, the country turns into one big festival: Switzerland celebrates its foundation in the year 1291 and the famous Rütli Oath high above Lake Lucerne with festive brunches on farms, parades with traditional costumes, yodelling choirs, and flag-bearers as well as impressive fireworks and bonfires.
