Zibelemärit
Berne brings tears to visitors' eyes as the Zibelemärit onion market takes over the old city. Farmers from all over Switzerland present over 50 tons of produce and onions decorate the streets. Warm up with a bowl of steaming onion soup.
White and red, spring and Spanish, pearl and pickling, this event celebrates the multi-faceted flavours of the Allium cepa, not to mention their tasty relatives - chives, leeks and shallots.
As well as an abundance of onions, there's street entertainment to keep the crowds amused. Expect confetti battles, jesters, live music and improvised performances.
