Neuchâtel - Guggenmusik @ Fêtes des Vendanges 2009 by Mark Sukhija

By: Mark Sukhija

Music is a regular feature of the Fêtes des Vendanges in Neuchâtel - which is an excellent accompaniment to the selection of local wine.

Bands are dotted around the town many playing tents others, like this one, playing on the steps of local buildings through the town. An Irish band played in a tent on the opposite of the street from where this band was playing.

An abundance of music, including Guggenmusik, is an essential, effervescent and highly enjoyable part of the Fêtes des Vendanges and it really adds to the atmosphere of the place.
