Dubbed the “Long Night of Churches”, the religious and cultural festival is organized by various Christian Churches of the country.
During the “Long Night of Churches”, people can visit churches, chapels, parishes and communities for free, meet believers of other denominations and participate in events organized by host communities.
Held for the first time on September 17, 2016, in 80 churches in the Canton of Aargau, the festival has acquired a national character and is held in several languages. Numerous volunteers from many communities and parishes organize the night. However, this year’s festival is maintaining Covid-19 health protocols.
