The Léman Bouquet Festival, founded by Ágnes Havas, merges music, cycling, and gastronomy along the shores of Lake Geneva. Stretching between the communes of Haute-Savoie and those in French-speaking Switzerland, participants embark on a four-stage cycling journey, complemented by diverse music performances. This festival champions responsible cycling tourism and international cultural cooperation while celebrating local culture and environmental preservation.
This summer, Antigel teams up with ECLA for a series of four free events in the heart of Geneva, celebrating youth, diversity, and culture in all its forms. From a rooftop RnB quiz and laid-back garden parties to a night of stand-up comedy and a bold finale blending live rap and on-the-spot cooking, this collaboration offers festive, inclusive, and accessible experiences. A summer to connect, celebrate, and explore culture differently — and together.
