Maienzug-Brunnen, 03.07.2026, 5000 Aarau

Every year on the first Friday in July, all the fountains, a monument, and several public buildings are elaborately decorated with flowers, ranging from traditional to unusual. At several locations, a team of city guides recounts historical facts, anecdotes, and stories about the Maienzug. In addition, children and young people dressed in white, together with clubs and associations, parade through the city. On the eve of the parade, however, it's party time: thousands of partygoers gather in the streets of the old town to celebrate exuberantly.
