Basel kicks off the Swiss National Day celebrations on July 31 with the annual Federal Day celebration on the Rhine. The city festival begins at 5:00 p.m. and features a varied program with around 100 food stands and live music. The highlight of the Federal Celebration is the fireworks display at 11:00 p.m. The festival grounds stretch along the Rhine in Kleinbasel from the Johanniter Bridge to the Wettstein Bridge, and in Grossbasel from the Johanniter Bridge to the Mittlere Bridge and from the Schifflände to the Marktplatz.
On August 1, the actual National Day, the official National Day celebration takes place at Bruderholz.
