Nyon, Ville de Festivals

Discover the Ville de Festival platform!

The site aims to connect residents of the Nyon region with festival-goers by offering them an accommodation solution at home. It aims to promote hospitality, solidarity and mutual aid, three important values for all the partner festivals.

Launched in 1990 by a group of friends, the festival takes place every year at the Port of Crans-près-Céligny, in an idyllic setting on the shores of Lake Geneva. Fully run by volunteers, the Caribana welcomes more than 30,000 spectators over 4 days at the beginning of June.
