    Maybe “Herbstfest”? But more of a local thing. “Jahrmarkt” is even more local. Both are some kind of village-wide market events, the first more fall-themed (and grapes because “Weinland” switzerland) with changing locations each year.

    Looks like american thanksgiving is how christmas is for us?

      We have three eating holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas, and Easter, and they’re all about the same. There’s loads of Germans and Dutch up here so people keep a lot of the European traditions, and I’d say you’re probably right that Thanksgiving is more like your Christmas.
