Those who have been to the historic old town of Schaffhausen will understand why it is an ideal space for an outdoor concert series. The town is a maze of narrow cobbled streets, historic buildings, and beautiful fountains.
The concerts are performed in the heart of the old town and are surrounded by the beautiful backdrop of Herrenacker. No wonder Stars in Town draws crowds of thousands to the three concerts on each of the five evenings.
Alongside the main events, there will also be smaller shows at Fronwagplatz. And not to forget, the after-parties at Orient and Kulturzentrum Kammgarn.
