Lausanne's summer festivals
Overview
Intro
Innovative, urban and off-beat, the Festival de la Cité is characterised by its unique artistic diversity and a distinct taste for launching newcomers and original projects.
Unexpected, unconventional, lively: there are many words that can be used to describe the favourite summer event for the residents of Lausanne. The Festival de la Cité is held in the Parc de Mon-Repos, in the heart of the city, in many novel venues and around the Cité. Kids, teenagers or adults, locals or tourists, the Festival de la Cité is geared to everyone. There’s something for everyone in the programme that combines theatre with music, acting with dance, circus acts with street art, bringing together performing arts, in situ art works, artistic installations and urban culture.
The Festival de la Cité is part of the Lausanne Estivale programme, which includes events, concerts, screenings and tours from May to September in Lausanne. The one thing all these 450 activities and events have in common? They’re completely free!
