During the day the festival rotates around the various market stalls, showing crockery, ornaments, hardware and the various clothing. I just took a walk around and took photographs. As it is a very old town (one of the oldest in Switzerland, its original name being Solodorum from the Roman times) I hope I managed to capture a bit of the ancient surroundings, street cobbles, narrow alleys and of course the cathedral. By the way the young man you see in blue jeans and a blue t-shirt looking at the records on the record stall is my oldest son. I happened to meet him as he had just finished work and decided to have a look around. So here is the slide show (I hope it works, never done it before but saw it on the site belonging to Belita, my Portuguese colleague here and I would recommend have a look at her site - she has some very good photos from her local market festival).
During the evening it is music, dancing and high life and the wine and beer are flowing - one of the reasons the first aid people are there.
