Local food fest this weekend

Friday, 29 August 2025 06:30

The City of Geneva is celebrating local produce this weekend with the 7th edition of Festi’Terroir at Parc des Bastions.

From today at 5pm to Sunday, nearly 90 stalls will showcase organic and regional goods, from vegetables and cheeses to local bread, meat and drinks.

Tonight, there’ll be concerts and aperitifs – the large farmer’s market will be tomorrow and Sunday.

A new feature this year targets restaurateurs, who can preview local wines, beers, and beverages.

The idea is to boost regional produce available in local businesses.
