This year’s Geneva Fête de la Musique will be back at full strength after two years of Covid disruption.

There’ll be 555 concerts, workshop and dance performances over three days on thirty stages set up between Place de Neuve, Parc des Bastions and the Old Town.

There’ll be 27 food and drink stands – which will donate all profits to cultural, educational and humanitarian causes.

The aim is to make the Fête de la Musique sustainable. The City of Geneva will be carrying out a carbon assessment of the event.

The 2022 Fête de la Musique takes place between Friday 24th and Sunday 26th June.
