Piazza Grande

Spacious town square. Got there around 8 and everything close except restaurants. Very few pedestrians. In Swiss, most things shut down after 8pm so it feels like ghost town. Be very careful when walking here. Its easy to twist your ankles.

It's currently being used as a music venue for Moon and Stars. It's a fantastic spot for it. There's restaurants on the square.

The vibrant heart of charming Locarno, bustling with shops, restaurants, cafes, hotels & more. Overflowing with chairs and celebrity buzz during the prestigious annual Locarno International Film Festival! 🏞️ 🛍️ 🥙 ☕️ 🎬

We arrived in the middle of an ethnic food festival with food from Asia as well as all over Europe. It was a very eclectic mix of different street food and nationalities. There were also displays of national dancing and folk singing. It was a very interesting and educational hour.

Sooo beautiful! The city often has concerts in the open area. A lot of the restaurants are patio seating.

Please note my comments are based primarily around our film festival experience within this space. It’s early August and the Locarno Film Festival is in full flow, the centrepiece is the Piazza Grande, where up to 8000 people per night gather to watch movies on one of the world’s biggest screens. It’s an experience you are unlikely to forgot, to share those moments with thousands of strangers, it’s kind of amazing and incredibly cool. I love the environment here, who says cinema is dead when so many gather to watch films both big and small. Loved it each night as bats made their way across the screen, maybe they were watching.

The place to be during the Film Festival, and a wonderful square surrounded by beautiful buildings

I was in Piazza Grande for Eros Ramazzotti live concert. Fantastic experience, fantastic atmosphere, fantastic people... I am looking forward for next year concert season in Locarno, Switzerland.. I highly recommend you to monitor the concerts next sprint to checkout the singers or bands... Cheers!
