Arosa Village Market 2026
Meet us!
On 24 July 2026, the Arosa Village Market fills the centre of the village for a single summer day, turning the Poststrasse and surrounding streets into an open-air marketplace of local stalls, food and live music.
The event
The Arosa Village Market is the village's largest summer street festival, held once each summer in the heart of Arosa. For one day, local vendors, artisans and food producers line the streets with stalls of regional products, handcrafted goods and culinary specialities, so it works as part farmers' market, part craft fair and part street party. The emphasis stays on the local and the handmade: Graubünden cheeses, honey and baked goods alongside jewellery, woodwork, textiles and artwork from local makers, rather than mass-produced souvenirs.
Stalls open from late morning and the day builds steadily. Live music plays on several stages set around the village centre, giving different corners their own atmosphere, while street performers appear between the stalls and children's activities such as face painting, games and small workshops run in dedicated areas. The air fills with cooking smells, music and conversation in several languages, and the food ranges from traditional Swiss dishes to more varied cuisines, much of it bought and tasted straight from the producers. The mood is relaxed and celebratory: many visitors treat it as a full day out, meeting friends, lingering over lunch at outdoor tables and taking in the summer alpine setting. As an outdoor event the programme can shift in poor weather, though the compact village makes it easy to move between covered and open areas.
