RED FESTIVAL COUNTDOWN

The LEGENDARY Halloween-Party is BACK!
Swiss Deaf Youth has organized the Halloween-Party multiple times in the past and for our 20-year celebration we invite you all to dance into the morning and have an unforgettable night like every other Halloween-Party. We have a DRESSCODE for this years party: RED like BLOOD. You can wear anything you want, but it must have a little bit of RED in it, for example lipstick, painted nails, jewlery and much more!

Our Program is divided into two parts, the day program is from 09:00 until 17:30.
