Bern Onion Market 2023, Zibelemarit, 27 November. Program

Bern Onion Market

WHERE: Bern, Switzerland
WHEN: 27 November 2023

That the onion could have beneficial properties is well known. Among the many things, it is good for the heart, for bones, cleanses and is a food suitable for diabetics. Of course, better not to abuse it, especially before a gallant meeting!
That it could be the protagonist of a great party in Switzerland, dedicated to it, is, however, less known.

Every year, on the fourth Monday of November, the so-called Zibelemarit (Bern Onion Market) takes place in the Switzerland city, a large international fair dedicated to the onions. Over 50 tons of the vegetables are offered in all tastes and all sauces; from garlands, to braids, to real figures and onion sculptures!

The Onion Market is located in the upper part of the historic center of Bern. You will find around a hundred stalls set up by local farmers, especially from the Lake Freiburg district.

Over the years, the event has taken on the connotations of a popular festival. So, next to the inevitable onions, you can buy winter vegetables, nuts and many other gastronomic products. And, again, textiles, jewelry, ceramics and toys.
