Happy Easter 2022 from The English Show

An upbeat, "welcome to springtime" program this week, to celebrate the coming of Easter 2022. The cold winter is (hopefully) behind us, and our region is in bloom with flowers, trees and activities to do outdoors. Thank you to our friends at Basel Life Magazine whose (now) online magazine is your go-to place for activity ideas and a whole lot more! Some special local cultural events of note coming up in the near future: Basel BScene on April 22 and 23, and the Jazzfestival Basel from April 24 to May 30.
