On 1 August every year the Swiss celebrate the founding of their confederation. The date refers to a historic alliance reached in 1291 by the three cantons of Uri, Schwyz and Unterwalden. Fast forward to today, and up and down the alpine country, there are a wide variety of festivals and traditions that accompany 1 August such as bonfires and fireworks.
