Swissmilk Day 2015

Every year in April in Switzerland the “Day of milk” is taking place. Free concerts as well as milk shakes are part of it.

On the “day of milk” in whole Switzerland there are at over 100 places various events and stands, where many activities take place and you can get free milk shakes and frozen jougurt until you get sick. And each time there’s the main event in a bigger city with school competition and free concerts. School classes from Switzeralnd can take part in the competition and create advertisment banners for Swiss milk, which will get released for a voting. The winner will be announced on the “day of milk” at the main event.

It was the 3rd time I was part of. The first times in 2012 and 2013 Bastian Baker as well as  Pegasus were playing in Bern or Lausanne. This year the main event with concerts of Carrousel and Lo & Leduc took place in St. Galle. What’s better on a nice, sunny spring day than drinking free milk shakes with friends and listening to good music?

When I arrived Lo & Leduc were still busy at their signing. Carroussel had it before them. I told you about Carrousel before: I could see Sophie and Leonard live for the first time at Grabenhalle in St. Galle next to Baba Shrimps. Carrousel are a French-Swiss duo and play folk pop songs. They sing in French. I think esp. for Openair concerts like on this Saturday in St. Galle they are great. With their band they spread pre-summer feelings and a good mood. With their soft musicbox, accoredon and ukulele sounds you feel happy and free like on a fair.

After a short changing break the words magicians Lo & Leduc created a great atmosphere on the place. The atmosphere is at concerts with so many children of course different than usually, but it was great fun. The way they talked and communicated with the kids was really cute and funny. Sure the kids loved to throw in word suggestions for Lo’s freestyle. With songs as “Bini bi dir”, “Blaui Pepperoni” or “Jung verdammt” the very last one got entertained perfectly.

So it was worth it to travel across Switzerland once again. I am already curious where and with who the next “day of milk” will take palce. But for this we of course have to wait til next April.
