🌴 OPEN VILLAGE🌴🌞 SUMMER FESTIVAL 🌞_____

All summer ! From July 4 to September 15, 2019 Every Thursday 6:00 p.m. – 4:00 a.m._____

▪ EFFERVESCENCE AT THE SERVICE OF THE LOCAL ART SCENE ▪

Take an industrial zone slated for demolition in 2022 and rethink the space into a cultural village & festive open to all! This is the mission that Village du Soir set itself in 2016, with its sights set on 5 years of excitement dedicated to the local artistic scene in former industrial buildings entirely rehabilitated to host concerts; demonstrations; festivals; performance; theater & exhibitions.

And the least we can say is... that the actor is dynamic! As if in constant excitement, Village du Soir has continued to renew itself since its arrival on the local scene, quickly becoming a reference place in terms of cultural & Geneva festive events. More than 500,000 visitors (villagers) and 900 artists welcomed in just 2 ½ years!

▪ AN ENTIRE INDUSTRIAL ZONE DEDICATED TO AFTERWORK ▪

This summer, Village du Soir is innovating again, choosing to offer a new experience to its visitors, imbued with freshness, relaxation, openness and local artistic discoveries! Until September 15, every Thursday - Friday & Saturdays from 6 p.m. to 10 p.m., the festive village literally transforms into an open stage, exclusively dedicated to the culture of Afterwork!

The buildings awaken their oversized industrial doors (until then dormant) offering a new configuration of the site, where the notion of interior and exterior mix (or even merge) for the benefit of a unique industrial space of 2,500m2, entirely designed to relax at the start of the evening!

Ultimately, in a single place, a whole range of 100% summer offers specially concocted to get away from it all, refresh yourself, meet up, share...simply let yourself be experienced!

OPEN VILLAGE = OPEN MIND

In the end, Open Village naturally reinforces this breath of freshness, openness, creation and sharing, which characterizes the activity of the Evening Village so well since its arrival in the Geneva nightlife landscape. In itself, a summer operation open to all, whatever their age or profile, intended on the one hand to promote the arts and local culture and on the other hand to promote the industrial heritage invested, all in a decor and an exceptional site without equal in French-speaking Switzerland, revisited according to the festivities and events held on site! Let's not forget...end scheduled for 2022. It's about taking advantage of it! _____
