Other festivals in Lausanne are no less colorful and attractive to tourists. One of these is the Chocolate Festival, which, despite its name, is dedicated not to sweets but electronic music. Everyone can join the event in early June when large-scale parties are held on the shore of the picturesque Lake Geneva. Along with music fans, the festival also attracts nature enthusiasts, as this is a great opportunity to have a picnic and set up camp. Another interesting open-air summer event is the Festival de la Terre, which follows the above-mentioned Chocolate Festival. At this time, Esplanade de Montbenon becomes the venue for music concerts. Here you can also take part in workshops and play sports. The festival stands out with its warm friendly atmosphere, being one of the best events in the city's life to attend with children.
Music lovers would be happy to check out another nice music festival that is held in early April. We are talking about the Cully Jazz Festival aimed at introducing visitors to music that has already become classics, as well as its related genres such as funk, blues, soul, rock.
