Throughout the year, Spiez is a lively place where culture, food and drink, music and socialising come together. This is particularly evident during Advent at the traditional Chlouse-Märit. Oberlandstrasse is transformed into a festive Christmas world filled with twinkling lights, tempting aromas and seasonal music. More than 100 market stalls invite visitors to browse and enjoy regional products, handcrafted gift ideas and culinary specialities. A varied programme of music adds to the festive atmosphere, while Samichlous delights the youngest visitors. With mulled wine, winter delicacies and the cheerful buzz of conversation, the market becomes a vibrant meeting place whose appeal extends far beyond the region, attracting countless visitors to Spiez every year.
Away from the major seasonal highlights, Spiez also has a rich cultural life. In the special atmosphere of a former chapel, KulturKapelle9 provides an intimate setting for concerts, readings, theatre, cabaret and exhibitions. The close connection between audiences and performers makes every event an immersive experience and gives the venue a distinctive cultural character.
The organic weekly market is a firm fixture in everyday life, bringing fresh, seasonal and sustainably produced food to the centre of Spiez every Tuesday and Friday. Here, visitors can meet producers in person, discover regional specialities and enjoy shopping at a more relaxed, mindful pace. The market is a lively meeting place that brings together enjoyment, quality and personal interaction.
Those looking to recharge and find balance will also discover activities for body and mind in Spiez. Tai Chi and Qi Gong classes use flowing movements to create space for calm, mindfulness and inner balance. At the other end of the spectrum, TanzBar invites visitors to enjoy lively hours filled with music, movement and joie de vivre. Both offer spaces where wellbeing, social connection and community take centre stage.
For live music, the ROX music bar hosts concerts in a wide variety of styles every Saturday. In a relaxed club atmosphere, guests can experience regional talent and well-known bands up close and enjoy evenings filled with energy, great music and authentic live moments.
From April onwards, Spiez looks forward to a summer filled with life, music and memorable encounters. One of the highlights is the Seaside Festival, which brings top-class music acts directly to the lakeside. Against the impressive backdrop of Lake Thun and the surrounding mountains, music, summer atmosphere and joie de vivre come together to create a unique experience that delights thousands of visitors. The beach volleyball events are another defining feature of summer in Spiez, combining top-level sport with a holiday atmosphere. Right by the water, players compete for points while spectators enjoy outstanding sporting performances in a relaxed setting. Another event not to be missed is the “Usestuehle” trade show, where Spiez’s diverse local businesses present themselves from their relaxed and creative side. Public spaces are transformed into an open-air living room and an inspiring exhibition in the very heart of Spiez.
With its comprehensive event calendar, Spiez Marketing AG makes an important contribution to raising the region’s profile. The platform brings people together, creates memorable experiences and showcases the extraordinary diversity of Spiez throughout the year.
