Spring Events in Geneva: Mai au Parc & Wine Night

Spring is one of the most beautiful times to visit Geneva. As the city begins to enjoy warmer days and longer evenings, locals and tourists gather outdoors to celebrate culture, gastronomy and music. This weekend, Geneva offers two outstanding events that perfectly capture the atmosphere of the season: Festival Mai au Parc and the Wine Night Festival in Carouge.

At Geneva Residences, we always encourage travelers to discover the local side of Geneva, beyond the traditional tourist attractions. These events are the perfect opportunity to experience the city like a local.

Festival Mai au Parc: Geneva Welcomes the Outdoor Season

From May 22 to May 24, 2026, Festival Mai au Parc returns to Parc Bernasconi in Grand-Lancy. This open-air festival is one of Geneva’s most anticipated spring events and offers a relaxed atmosphere surrounded by nature.

Visitors can enjoy:

The festival attracts both locals and international visitors looking to enjoy Geneva’s outdoor lifestyle. During the day, families and friends gather on the grass for picnics while enjoying music performances and local gastronomy. In the evening, the park transforms into a lively cultural space filled with lights and music.

Festival Mai au Parc is the perfect event for travelers who want to experience Geneva’s community atmosphere during spring and early summer.
