Anniversary Edition

50TH EDITION AUGUST 16 TO 24, 2025

For 50 years, we’ve been forging links.
This summer, Freiburg’s oldest event, run entirely by volunteers, celebrates its 50th anniversary.
RFI has been celebrating the world’s traditional cultures through dance and music since 1975.

In half a century, more than 13,500 faces from the four corners of the globe have made their mark on Fribourg. 
Let’s celebrate this jubilee together! After the success of a grand premiere with RFI Kids from June 12 to 15, 2025,
make way for the traditional August festival.

A rich program, new features and high points to be experienced with over 500 tradition bearers in Fribourg from August 16 to 24, 2025.
