Red Pigs Festival

Jun 21, 2023 - Jun 24, 2023
Payerne - Festivity, Festival

The Red Pigs Festival – or the art of extending the Festival of Music with a choice of artists as bold as they are punchy.

For a few days, a festive atmosphere and renowned artists of national and international stature take over the stage of the festival, which takes place in the open air in the centre of the town of Payerne. The contrast is obvious: a music festival featuring modern sounds a few steps from the Abbey church, a majestic historical monument dating from the 11th century.

Aventicum – Capital of Roman Helvetia
The habits and customs of Aventicum’s inhabitants 2000 years ago included entertaining themselves at the arena by attending gladiator fights, taking time for their well-being, as well as basking and relaxing at the thermal baths. This Roman city was the capital of the Helvetii people, numbering 20,000 souls at the time; a settlement that rose to be a colony and was placed under the Emperor’s protection. Its influence and outreach extended far and wide, from the north to the south of the Alps. Evidence from this sumptuous and flourishing era are still visible today when visiting the Roman Site’s vestiges of its imposing monuments and the Roman Museum’s impressive collection of ancient objects.
