Local and international crowds flock to the Fêtes de Genève, the city’s mammoth summer festival.

It features lakeside parades, opera performances and a children’s day, but the highlight each year is its spectacular firework displays.

Join the summer crowds for a lake parade with fantastic floats, international stars in concert, fairground rides, rock and pop shows and street performers.

An annual highlight of the Geneva summer, the festival (or fêtes, as it is known locally) draws huge crowds – hundreds of thousands attend each year. Enjoy the midday heat and balmy evenings at this outdoor celebration.

Don’t miss the grand fireworks displays, with colourful pyro­technics soaring and dancing over the shimmering waters in time to music.

Book flights to Geneva via Germany or Zurich with Air Malta.

Further information – available in French only – is available at www.fetes-de-geneve.ch.
