Léman Bouquet Festival

The Léman Bouquet Festival is a young, atypical festival to be held from June 26 to 28, 2026 for its 4th edition: 3 days, 7 venues, 8 concerts and 2 musical encounters with the musicians. An unforgettable new experience, a veritable musical and cultural bouquet not to be missed.


Born three years ago, the Léman Bouquet Festival is an initiative that has rapidly gained popularity in the canton of Geneva and the communes bordering the Haute-Savoie region. This unique festival celebrated its first three editions from 2023 to 2025, introducing an innovative concept: the cyclo-musical day, combining cycling and concerts (classical, baroque, jazz) - a bike ride of around 25 km, in 4 stages, accompanied by concerts along Lake Geneva.


Tickets open on April 11!
