On Saturday, August 1, 2026 – Swiss National Day itself – the Swiss Society of New York celebrated at The Hudson in New York City. The celebration began with the U.S. and Swiss national anthems, followed by remarks from the Swiss Consul General and the President of the Swiss Society of New York.
Guests enjoyed Swiss classics such as raclette, bratwurst, Swiss wine and cake, and browsed the Swiss Village of local vendors. Live music from the Linus Wyrsch Band featuring Gizem Gokoglu, a "Swiss Miss" music program and an evening DJ set kept the festivities going, while the children enjoyed bracelet-making, a magician show and the traditional lantern parade. The day also featured a raffle and bingo drawing.
We thank our sponsors for their generous support and our volunteers for their dedication in making the event run smoothly. Most of all, we thank everyone who joined us and brought their Swiss spirit – we can't wait to see you next year!
