Below is a communication from Jennifer Muller, Swiss Fair Chairperson,

Many of us are sad that the 2023 Swiss Fair event needed to get cancelled. So much work has been done by Jennifer and her team, for which we are grateful. Now we are hopeful for a 2024 Swiss Fair - in Jennifer's wordsbigger and better than ever.

Hello Volunteers and Friends to the Swiss Community,

The annual Swiss Fair, held to celebrate the August 1st Swiss Independence Day, is of great importance to our Los Angeles Swiss community. It’s a wonderful place to connect with new and familiar faces and reignite our Swiss roots. This makes us even more heartbroken to announce that the 2023 Swiss Fair event is cancelled.

In order to hold the Swiss Fair, city and county permits are required. In the past, the events business tenant of Swiss Park, Inc. has provided the event permits through their business. Swiss Park, Inc. is currently in on-going negotiations with a new events business tenant. Although they were hoping to complete the lease agreement before August 1st, it is now evident that the transition will not be complete in time. Without the proper permits and approvals, we are no longer allowed to host any events at this time.

We are deeply dismayed that we are being forced to cancel the 2023 Swiss Fair, but our hands are tied. We receive so much support from the Swiss Community and enjoy putting together this annual celebration for everyone. We have every hope that a new events business will be up and running at the Swiss Park soon. As long as a new tenant is found, we can look forward to a 2024 Swiss Fair that is bigger and better than ever.

We will be sending out refunds for booth payments, vendor payments, and pre-sale ticket purchases. Please allow us 7-14 days and a sprinkle of patience to get to you about your refund. If you have not heard from us by then, please email us at This email address is being protected from spambots.

We have Rivella and several pounds of gruyere & emmentaler cheeses for sale; if you are interested in purchasing some, please email Alexia Muller at This email address is being protected from spambots.

We would like to thank everyone who made an impact on this year's Swiss Fair, from the organizers and planners to those who had signed up to volunteer at the event. We thank you for your willingness to assist. We would also like to thank the vendors who were planning to share their products with us:

Please take a moment to visit each of their websites (Click on their names) and support their business. They were all working hard on preparing their products and booths to bring you all amazing items and information at the fair.


We would like to reiterate how much we regret this situation. It is an event looked forward to by many, us included. We are hopeful that we will be back for next year's Swiss Fair celebration in 2024 and we hope you’ll be able to join us for even bigger, better fun!

Please make sure that you pass this information along to any volunteers that you signed up and whose emails I do not have. Thank you all so much for all your support this year, it really was going to be great because of all of you.
