New Festhalle Bern: Game changer for the event age

The new festival hall on the BERNEXPO site will open in 2025. With its impressive architecture, innovative technology and versatile usage options, it marks a milestone for the event industry.

The completion of the new Festhalle Bern is progressing and is already making its mark: The shimmering façade, the 500-metre-long arcade and state-of-the-art technical features such as a 150 m² LED wall make the multifunctional building a real eye-catcher. "Both completion and marketing are proceeding according to plan," explains Tom Winter, CEO of Bernexpo AG.

With the Stage concert hall and the Cube congress center, the Festhalle combines two flexible event spaces and offers stars such as Gotthard, Felix Lobrecht and international congress organizers an impressive stage. Sustainability was also taken into account: the architecture not only creates space for major events, but also for local meeting places such as markets or a record-length tavolata.

In addition to the multifunctional facilities, highlights include events such as the World Cheese Awards and the Muv Festival. "With the new festival hall, we are revitalizing the Bernexpo site in the long term and strengthening Bern's international appeal," says Winter.
