Welcome to the 96th annual Imperial Valley Swiss Club Schwingfest. Your participation in this event, showcasing our Swiss heritage, is much appreciated. This tradition dates back to 1921, and it is noted as one of the longest standing traditions founded in Imperial Valley. Thank you for supporting all of the schwingers and musicians that will be performing this weekend. Their efforts are greatley appreciated, and we wish them good luck.
Join us in our festivities by taking part in the "schwinging", the games, and the meals. There will be a barbeque beef lunch beginning at noon, and a tri-tip dinner and dance baginning at 6:30 p.m. Music will be provided by the Imperial Valley Swiss band during the day and the Blaser-Faver Orchestra in the evening.

As we introduce the 2018 Swiss Club Board, I would like to personally thank them for their willingness to give their time and talents to ensure that the Swiss Club continues to thrive.
