Melbourne's Swiss community wants us to indulge in some real Swissness. Over two days, the Eildon mansion of the Alliance Francaise in St Kilda will be transformed into a Swiss Palais, complete with music, food and merriment.


The Swiss Festival 2018 will run Saturday & Sunday 27 & 28 October at 51 Grey Street, St Kilda, Melbourne. Entry is free and the opening hours are 11am-5.30pm & 10am-4.30pm.

For more, listen to the interview above with Festival Committee members Rolf Huber and Bruno Giger. Enjoy!
