Zurich's festival and concert calendar is anchored by the Street Parade, one of Europe's largest techno and electronic music parades, held annually in August along the lake shore and the Quaibrucke. The parade draws over a million visitors and turns the Zurichsee shore into a multi-stage open-air venue. The Hallenstadion (capacity 15,000) and the Samsung Hall (6,000) in Zurich North are the main indoor arenas. The Zurich Open Air Festival in August at the Festwiese in Langenthaler uses an outdoor stage format. Blues'n'Jazz Rapperswil on the Zurichsee southern shore is a well-attended summer festival around 35 kilometres from the city.
Coach transport in Zurich is more expensive than equivalent services in most European cities, reflecting the Swiss cost base. However, the distances involved and the limited parking around the Street Parade route and the Letziground stadium make a hired coach the most practical solution for groups of 10 or more attending these events.
The Street Parade uses the Zurich lake shore (Quaianlage and Seepromenade) as its main route, with stages at the Burkliplatz, the General-Guisan-Quai, and along the Utoquai. Coach drop-off on Street Parade day is managed by the city authority; vehicles are routed to designated drop-off points on the Seestrasse or the Mythenquai south of the route, from where guests walk 10 to 20 minutes to the main parade area. Street Parade transport should be booked well in advance (ideally two to three months) as demand in August is very high.
The Hallenstadion is in the Zurich-Oerlikon area in the north of the city, accessible via the A1 motorway exit and the Buhlstrasse. Coach drop-off is arranged at the designated event vehicle zone adjacent to the stadium. The Samsung Hall is adjacent to the Hallenstadion in the Messe Zurich complex. Transfer time from central Zurich hotels (Hauptbahnhof area) is around 15 to 20 minutes by coach. The Oerlikon area has better coach parking availability than the inner city.
Blues'n'Jazz Rapperswil is held in mid-July in Rapperswil-Jona on the Zurichsee southern shore, approximately 35 kilometres from central Zurich. Coach access is via the A3 motorway south and the Rapperswil Altstadt approach; the festival is held in the old town square and on the lakeside. Groups attending from Zurich hotels find the 35 to 45 minute coach journey more practical than the slow S-Bahn connection on festival evenings. The Zurich Open Air at the Festwiese uses the Letzipark area in west Zurich, accessible via the Letzigraben.
As a guide, a minibus (up to 19 seats) for a Zurich festival or concert run costs around 240 to 470 CHF per day, a midi-coach (around 35 seats) around 420 to 780 CHF per day, and a full-size coach (49 to 55 seats) around 640 to 1,180 CHF per day. Hallenstadion and Samsung Hall runs within Zurich are at the lower end of the range. Street Parade day packages and Blues'n'Jazz Rapperswil runs with Zurichsee mileage are at the mid-to-higher end. Swiss rates are higher than equivalent European services. The final figure depends on the venue location, hours, and any overnight waiting requirements.
