A National Geographic piece captures Gruyères in Switzerland during a festive August Fourth as bells toll and crowds fill the medieval town. Parade children in Gruyères costumes lead the march while men in traditional blue jackets, women in bright dresses, and dairy workers pose beside the fountain. Bonfires dot the valley as rockets rise and fireworks light the courtyard, ending with revelers swinging sparklers and a lively feast on a terrace overlooking the town.
