Carac Festival 2025 in Geneva - A Cultural Experience

If you're in Geneva this spring, don't miss the Carac Festival, a vibrant new cultural initiative by the University of Geneva (UNIGE), taking place from April 28 to May 25, 2025.

For one whole month, university students and associations take center stage in over 30 free events featuring theater, dance, concerts, film, visual arts, workshops, games, and more. The festival’s name is a tribute to the carac, a colorful Swiss pastry that reflects the spirit of the program: sweet, bold, and full of surprises.
