Since its first edition in 1992, this free popular festival celebrates music and encourages everyone to make and enjoy it. It showcases the musical diversity of the greater Geneva area through performances by professional and amateur artists, schools and cultural institutions, plus community projects and co-productions. The program brings neighbours together across stages and styles, offering a friendly space for shared listening, participation and discovery.
Conceived and directed by Ágnes Havas, this itinerant festival combines cycle-tourism with a rich musical programme. Concerts range from classical and baroque to opera and jazz, presented across lakeside stages that dialogue with the landscape. The project foregrounds sustainable cyclo-tourism and cross-border artistic cooperation, pairing performances with local gastronomy. Lighting and acoustic choices favour intimacy and clarity, while artists of international calibre create moments of contemplative lyricism, conviviality and sensory immersion around the rhythms of the lake.
