For many tourists and locals, the Balelec is a favorite festival in Lausanne. It starts in early May and is famous for its cheerful atmosphere, which can be seen from the number of people visiting the city at that time. So, about fifteen thousand people take part in the festival every year. This is despite frequent rains in early May - such bad weather is by no means an obstacle for those wishing to get unforgettable impressions from visiting the festival. However, in case of rain, you can always hide under the roof because concerts are held not only in the open air but also indoors - in one of the nightclubs and the École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne.
Ballet fans will be happy to visit Lausanne at the end of January during the Prix de Lausanne. The dancing competition is broadcast on almost all Swiss channels. Performances of ballet troupes take place at Lausanne's most famous theater - The Fondation BĂ©jart Ballet. In mid-October, Lausanne welcomes film buffs and underground music fans - the reason is the spectacular Lausanne Underground Film & Music Festival (or simply LUFF). This is one of the most grandiose events not only in Switzerland but throughout Europe.
