2-4 February 2024
Every year, announcing the Carnival of Estavayer, the traditional Hanging of the Perch starts with a procession that leaves the Place du Midi and, to the sound of the local guggenmusik, La Staviacouac, leads the giant papier-mâché fish in front of the tower of the Dominican Sisters, where a bar opens for this day as well as for the carnival (Le Socabar). There, tea and mulled wine are offered to the population. Afterwards, a party with DJ's extends the event, in a carnival atmosphere, until late at night.

FOR THE 40TH, THE HANGING OF THE POLE WILL TAKE PLACE ON SATURDAY, 27 January 2024 from 15h44.

Spaghetti sprays and shaving foams are strictly forbidden during the Pendaison de la Perche and the Carnival of Estavayer!

The SOCAREST committee reserves the right to confiscate these products. These products contain chemical substances which damage the costumes and the instruments of the guggens. Choose confetti, not chemicals!
