Landsgemeinde

Landsgemeinde celebrates direct democracy at its best, offering a traditional assembly and popular fair for the local community.

"Hochvertruuti liäbi Mitlandlüüt..."

Visitors may question the relevance of the Landsgemeinde in today's society, but Glarner people are Landsgemeinde. Come rain or shine, or even snow, the community stand together.


Guests are welcome to Landsgemeinde
Visitors can experience Landsgemeinde without a ballot card. The visitors' grandstand offers an excellent perspective of the arena, with a view of the orators in the centre or the starting procession accompanied by a marching band. Don't miss out on market stalls and the traditional Landsgemeinde menu of veal sausage with onion sauce, mashed potatoes and hot plums. Unmissable, every year on the first Sunday in May.
