Join a citywide celebration of piano, music and community as an open-air project places playable pianos across Geneva.

Instruments are freely accessible and many performances are announced only on the spot, creating shared, inclusive musical moments that bring neighbours and visitors together.

Choreographed by Tidiani N’Diaye, this urban parade is a collective moving performance that links choreography and civic engagement. Performers and participants wear costumes fashioned from colourful single-use plastic bags, a striking symbol of consumption’s excess and global imbalance. The work traces themes of North–South interconnection, climate and social justice, weaving ritual, rhythmic procession and communal singing into a vibrant public tableau. Created in collaboration with the Fédération genevoise de coopération for its 60th anniversary and Shap Shap, the parade is celebratory and questioning.
Local community associations gather for a day of family-friendly activities and a traditional firefighters’ ball. Throughout the day there will be stalls, performances and chances to meet neighbour groups, share food and enjoy music together. Everyone is welcome — families, friends and newcomers — to connect, volunteer or simply celebrate community spirit in a warm, inclusive setting. Visitors can discover local initiatives, speak with volunteers and find ways to get involved.

Activities encourage discovery, movement and confidence through colourful, active learning.
