The Fribourg Cantonal Wrestling Festival 2026 in Murten will not only be a highlight of regional sport, but also a celebration of tradition, community and cantonal identity. This event offers a unique opportunity to honour the roots of our culture, while looking to the future with pride.
The year 2026 also holds a very special significance for the town of Murten: we are celebrating the 550th anniversary of the Battle of Murten, a landmark event that had a profound influence on the history of our region and of Switzerland as a whole. This historic anniversary will be given pride of place at the wrestling festival, with a special framework programme designed to create a strong link between tradition, history and modern sportsmanship - a unique synergy that will make Murten an exceptional host.
As the venue for this event, Murten embodies both the historic heritage of the Lake District and the vitality of a contemporary society. With its picturesque old town, Lake Murten and warm hospitality, our region offers the ideal setting for an event that goes far beyond sporting competitions.
To make this festival an unforgettable experience, we are counting on the support of committed partners and sponsors. Your participation represents not only an authentic and valuable platform for your company, but also an opportunity to contribute to a cultural heritage that unites generations.
We warmly invite you to be part of this adventure and to write a page of history with us. Together, let's make the 2026 Fête Cantonale Fribourgeoise de Lutte a memorable event - whether through the sporting exploits on the field or the festivities surrounding the jubilee of the Battle of Murten.
