It is difficult to keep track of the numerous different concerts, slackline and wakeboard shows or dragon boat races in the Limmat. We therefore present seven attractions that you must not miss.

Are rockets going into the air for the last time on this Züri Fäscht? After this year’s air show was canceled for environmental reasons, it might also be the case for the traditional fireworks: Last August, the Zurich municipal council decided that the city council must examine how the fireworks can be replaced by environmentally friendly alternatives as soon as possible.
But this year too, the fireworks choreographed by experienced pyrotechnicians will delight thousands of people around the lake. The rockets will be launched at 10:30 p.m. on Friday, July 7, at 10:30 p.m. on July 8, and at 1 a.m. following midnight. After 2019, there will also be another drone show: on Saturday and Sunday at midnight and on Sunday evening at 10.30 p.m., more than 300 drones will once more fly through the air synchronized and transform the sky over Lake Zurich into a sea of lights.

Anyone who goes to the pool or outdoors every day in summer knows how important sunscreen is. Direct sunlight without protection ultimately increases the risk of developing skin cancer. Sunscreen is also important as protection once morest premature skin aging and painful sunburn. The Nivea company wants to draw attention to this fact at the Züri Fäscht.
