Australia’s largest Swiss Festival, a Swiss Club of Victoria initiative, began in 2002 at Flagstaff Gardens. Between 2003-2012, it was held annually on the grounds of the Austrian Club in Heidelberg. In 2013 it returned to the center of Melbourne, this time to Queensbridge Square, Southbank. It is usually held on a Sunday.
It is organized by a committee of volunteers. The Swiss Festival is an interest group of the Swiss Club of Victoria.
