Long Saturday returns successfully

For the first time since the beginning of the pandemic, the Long Saturday took place in a normal setting. Thanks to the varied program and the wonderful autumn weather, around 4,200 visitors found their way to the Chur houses of culture.

22 houses enlivened the city of Chur with more than 80 different short programs at the 15th edition of the Long Saturday. The cultural marathon attracted a large and enthusiastic audience thanks to the varied program and the wonderful autumn weather. "We are really happy with the Long Saturday 2022. The cultural sector is still struggling with the aftermath of the pandemic, so the success is not at all self-evident. The fact that the houses have invested an enormous amount in the quality of the program this year has been rewarded," Anita Willi from the Long Saturday Association sums up.

Variety for all generations

Music, theater, literature, comedy, guided tours, workshops, exhibitions and more were on offer at the Chur Culture Festival. The offer covered the entire spectrum of cultural production. The audience in turn rewarded the diversity on offer with a total of 18,600 admissions to the more than 200 individual performances. The mix of audiences shows that Long Saturday continues to function as an event for all generations. Around 17% of tickets were sold to children and young people aged 16 and under, and 12% to young adults aged 17 to 25. 71% of tickets went to adults 26 and older.

The next Long Saturday will be held on November 11, 2023.
