Why?
The Foire de la Saint-Martin is a very old autumn fair, linked to the feast of Saint Martin (11 November), to whom Vevey's Saint-Martin church is dedicated. For a long time it was held on the second Tuesday of November; since 2025 it takes place over a weekend, at the end of October or the beginning of November. The Escalade belongs to Geneva, the Bénichon to Fribourg, and the Brandons are the Vaud carnival at the end of winter, for example in Payerne and Moudon.
