Work has begun on setting up the construction site for the new building of the Haus zum Falken (Café Mandarin). At the same time, work is being done on the gas pipeline in Falkenstrasse/Mühlebachstrasse. Here are the other key data:

After a two-year pandemic break, the Sechseläuten was held last weekend (Sunday, 24.04.2022 and Monday, 25.04.2022). A celebration for Zurich and especially for the Bellevue/Stadelhofen area. The Böögg on Sechseläutenplatz took its time and lost its head after 37 minutes and 59 seconds. From a historical perspective, this was not a good omen for a glorious summer. The colourful children's procession on Sunday was unfortunately accompanied by rain - the sun came out for the procession of the Zurich guilds on Monday. The two parades attracted thousands of spectators - a very beautiful and joyful sign of the way to normality.

Experience impressive and unique light shows by Zurich artist Gerry Hofstetter on various buildings in the Limmatquai area and in the city centre between 5 pm and 2 am on New Year's Eve in Zurich.

This winter, the Wienachtsdorf on Sechseläutenplatz is to take place again: an enchanting Christmas market right next to the Opera House and Lake Zurich, with around 120 market huts, a huge Christmas tree and many little niches to linger and spend the cold season with loved ones.

The Zurich Film Festival took place for the first time in October 2005. Within a few years, it has established itself in the national and international festival landscape. Since the first edition, the festival has grown continuously.

Ballet for all! On Saturday evening, the recording of Christian Spuck's interpretation of the Verdi Requiem will flicker across the big screen. In touching, highly poetic images, Ballett Zürich deals with fundamental human emotions and focuses on the vulnerable, helpless human being in search of consolation.

Artistic highlights and noble equestrian performances are mixed with the unmistakable voice and guitar sounds of Bastian Baker.

After the last nine guest appearances at the main station, the organisers will transform Zurich's city centre into a temporary athletics arena for the first time on Wednesday, 8 September. Around 2,500 spectators will be able to watch the first of a total of 32 Wanda Diamond League finals in the high jump, long jump, shot put and over 5,000 metres. The world premiere will be broadcast live on Swiss television and around the globe from 5.30 to 7.30 p.m. before the three-hour final gala takes place the following day in the Letzigrund stadium.

Recently, more unwanted illegal spray-paintings on the facades of our neighbourhood have come to our attention. The aim of the Bellevue and Stadelhofen Association is to promote the location. This also includes the maintenance of the properties in the neighbourhood, as these shape the image of the place and can have an inviting - or even unkempt - appearance.

The conversion of the "Haus zum Falken" including the bicycle station at Stadelhofen station has been delayed. The project will now be put out to tender again. Construction is expected to start in spring 2022.
