The Swiss local government is sponsoring a reading festival on Sunday, August 25th from 11am to 5pm at Kannenfeldpark, Basel. Tents are set up for children of all ages. Children relax amongst the pillows and next to their comrades in the cool while listening to enthusiastically read stories.
Most of the readings are in German, as this event does take place in German-speaking Switzerland. BUT, Jukibu will be present and plans to have readings in many languages including English! Rumor has it the English reading/s happen early in the day. So, go to the park and have a look at the schedules to plan your day!
There are foods available for sale as well, including sausages and drinks.
And there is a bonus for the kids: after three punches on their event given punch cards the kids receive a *free* ice cream! Fun and yum!
