a word from our kind supporters:
Our cross-border swing dance project brings together the vibrant swing communities of Konstanz, St. Gallen, and Bregenz. At its heart is the idea of connecting people across borders through music, dance, and real human encounters. We’ll kick things off in June 2025 with a big event in Konstanz, organized by the local swing scene. In 2026, it’s St. Gallen’s turn to host! By switching locations each year, we’re celebrating intercultural exchange, building lasting networks, and strengthening collaboration across the region. Our goal? To create lively spaces where people from all backgrounds feel welcome, experience cultural diversity, and simply have a great time together. Thanks to the financial support of the Interreg ABH program, we’re able to bring this colorful and inspiring project to life.
meet our Photographer!
Our festival photographer is Fabi (@fabibi_24 on instagram). He’ll be taking photos and videos for our website and social media. If you’d prefer not to be in any of them, just have a quick word with him at the start of the weekend. If we don’t hear from you, we’ll assume you’re cool with us using pictures and videos that include you on those platforms.

weekend vibes
Friday – Colorful Cheer
Start your weekend with color and joy! There’s no dress code, but we love vibrant hues and playful patterns—tie-dye, neon, anything that radiates good vibes. Let your outfit match your mood: bold, bright, and full of life.
Friday Late – Undress to Unimpress
As night falls, join us at Lake Constance for a beloved tradition: skinny dipping under the stars. Whether you dive in or just dip a toe, this is your invitation to let go—of expectations, of polish, of clothes. Undress to unimpress is not a challenge; it’s freedom. Come as you are, or even less than that.
And no—you don’t have to get naked. You don’t even have to get wet. Just be present. Be playful.
What to wear?
For the first part: whatever makes you feel like the sun is setting just for you.
For the second: nothing you can’t laugh in.
From light to liberation—let it sparkle, let it slip.
Saturday – The Glitter Manifesto
Saturday night is your time to shine. Sequins, rhinestones, iridescence—go all in or just add a sparkle. Whether you glow like a disco ball or wear a single glittery earring, you belong.
This night isn’t about fashion. It’s about expression. It’s about showing up in all your fabulous, glowing, rebellious glory.
Live bands will swing and shimmer with you. The dance floor is your runway. Let your glitter spread—it’s called community sparkle.
What to wear?
Anything that makes you feel like you are the sun.
