The World Youth Music Festival brought the city of Zurich to life this weekend. 65 youth music formations from 11 different countries took part in the competitions and provided colourful and loud sounds in the city. A total of around 3,000 young people took part. The opening ceremony on Friday 12 July 2024 attracted around 5,000 people to the Hallenstadion. The gala concerts, the parade and the festival site on Münsterhof were also popular attractions for the public.
