2023 Summer Music Festival
They are one of my favorite events to attend and, maybe someday, organize as well.
Since I was young, I love taking trips to concerts and festivals. Festivals are in my top 5 of summer fun.
We may not have Coachella or Burning Man in Switzerland, but looking at what is proposed for the upcoming season, you will not be disappointed.

Winter is Leaving

The following ideas will help you bid winter goodbye in style:
Rock the Pistes (until March 18)
AMR Jazz Festival (March 15-19, Geneva)
Voix de Fete (March 20-26, Geneva) 25th anniversary of this genevois party.
Prémices Festival (March 17-18, Lausanne) New artists, excellent music and many stages.
Warming up

Before we get to the classic fiestas, here are a few that are really fun:
Caribana Festival (June 7-10, Crans) As they call themselves “the smallest of the biggest festivals”
Vibiscum Festival (June 8-10, Vevey) Big names for the 2nd edition of this one.
