The Entlebuch Alpabfahrt takes place every year at the end of September. Over 250 head of cattle, accompanied by herdsmen, dairymen and various folklore groups, make their way home.
The Entlebucher Alpabfahrt has grown into a huge street festival, one of the largest alpine processions in Switzerland and a kind of "little yodelling festival". In recent years, over 10,000 visitors have regularly greeted the Alpine families with their magnificently decorated animals as they return from the Alps to the valley. In the village of Schüpfheim on Saturday, one regional produce market stall follows the next, alternating with small snack bars. Yodel singing can be heard here, alphorns play there and brass bands can also be heard - it's simply a cozy atmosphere all round.
