Geneva's 10 Unmissable Art and Culture Events this Summer — theculturetrip.com

Geneva’s very own multidisciplinary contemporary art festival, Le Bâtie, hits the streets at the end of the summer, with a 16-day programme of music, dance, theatre and performance art scattered over Geneva and its neighbouring regions, including Annemasse, Annecy and Divonne over the border in France. The festival’s heart is Le Bâtie itself, constructed in the centre of the city as a space for social gatherings, meals, and dances into the night.
