Geneva is set to become a summer hotspot as two unique festivals, Rêve d'Eau and On the Water, take over Lake Geneva this August. Rêve d'Eau, running from 7 to 30 August, will feature over 70 free water, light, and music shows, whilst On the Water will offer a one-day aquatic dance party on 8 August.
Rêve d'Eau, meaning Water Dream, is a new addition to Geneva's cultural scene. It promises a magical atmosphere with choreographed water performances every 30 minutes from noon to 9pm. The festival will create an immersive experience with evening shows combining water, light, and music, making it a must-visit for tourists and locals alike. Two DJ nights on 21 and 22 August will add a lively touch with commercial, house, and electronic music.
On the Water returns for its second edition on 8 August, offering a unique experience in Geneva's harbour. Festivalgoers can dance on boats, paddleboards, and pedal boats to live DJ sets from a floating stage. This festival is the only one held entirely on water, providing a distinctive musical immersion.
These festivals highlight Geneva's vibrant summer offerings, transforming Lake Geneva into a dynamic stage. For more details on these events, visit the Geneva Tourism website
