# Moon & Stars 2026 in Locarno: Special Night Shuttle Times Back to Brissago

Every July, Locarno turns into Switzerland's most anticipated open-air stage: Moon & Stars. Thousands of visitors travel from across Ticino and abroad to enjoy the concerts in Piazza Grande, and many of them choose to stay in Brissago, on Lake Maggiore, just minutes from Locarno.

If you've booked your stay at Garden Hotel Primavera to experience the festival, this guide is for you: here you'll find the full special night shuttle schedule, organized by the Municipality of Brissago together with Taxi Prato Brissago, so you can get back to your hotel comfortably after the concert, no driving required.
