The Zibelemärit, also known as Onion Market Bern, is a traditional folk festival held on the fourth Monday of every November. It’s a mix of a folk festival and farmers’ market. Farmers from the surrounding areas head to the Swiss capital with more than 50 metric tons of onions and garlic in artistically woven braids. It’s all about onions in the kitchens too. The restaurants in Bern’s Old Town offer an array of onion-based dishes. For instance onion tart, onion soup, onion pizza, sausage with onions and more!
